Mental Health Support

We all go through times when we feel worried, confused or down. But when it starts to feel difficult to do everyday things it could mean we have a problem with our mental health.

Mental health is as important as physical health. Positive mental health enables a student to realise his or her own potential. GMS is committed to providing a safe and stable environment where students feel supported whether affected directly and indirectly by mental ill health. Below are some useful links for anyone experiencing mental health issues.
