We are here to make students life better; university is a hugely enriching experience, but many can find this a challenging environment and we all need extra support at times. We want you to feel connected, safe, and supported, turning our attention to every stage of your student journey, ensuring you have access to open, available and welcoming services.

• We proactively support students by improving awareness of and providing effective signposting to relevant support services.
• We provide professional and confidential academic advice and support to students and will make every effort to promote the service amongst all students including Postgraduate students.
• We continue to work with the University to ensure the delivery of the Student-Led Mental Health Strategy and the Health and Well-Being Strategy, ensuring student mental health and well-being is a priority.
• We work with the University to further develop our peer-to-peer support networks such as Connect@Bangor to help you make friends and support your mental health.
• Our students will be supported to protect and strengthen their health and wellbeing, and we will work with the University, to offer education and training to our student leaders on how to identify and respond to mental health and well-being concerns among their peers.

One of our peer-to-peer support networks for students is Connect@Bangor which is focused on promoting positive peer relationships, mental health and wellbeing support for students inside and outside of the university campus and this is what they have to offer:

• Every Wednesday at 1pm we hold Connect@Bangor Drop-in Sessions held in the Students’ Union and online where you can join group discussions with the Mental Health Advisors and Connect@Bangor to talk about all aspects of well-being. To join these session contact svbconnect@undebbangor.com

• Walk & Talk organise weekly walks around Bangor. This is a great way to explore the local area, meet new people, and walking is a great way to improve your well-being. To sign up please email walkandtalk@undebbangor.com

We are also here to ensure that the views and interests of all Bangor University students are represented and heard, and this is achieved in many ways from the Undeb Bangor Course Rep System, to one-to-one academic advice, Undeb Bangor Council, and Your Ideas.

There are important things you need to do when you get to Bangor, and we can help you with these practicalities. Here is a checklist. 

Listening - Prayer - Worship - Discussion - Welcome - Questions - Faith - Pastoral Care - Support - No Faith - Accompaniment.  Chaplaincy is here for You

The Chaplaincy Team at Bangor University is affiliated to and works with Student Services to offer, on a multi-faith basis, pastoral care and support to both students and staff of the University. Belonging to different faith traditions, the team meets regularly to ensure a coordinated approach to faith matters whilst respecting the different beliefs and traditions we hold. 

If you are a person of faith you might consider making contact with one of the Chaplaincy Team members, perhaps the one from your own faith background, who can introduce you to what is available for you here in Bangor.

We hope you enjoy this little video - 'Chaplaincy Team - The Movie' as an introduction to the Team and what we do.
