SAMHS (Student Access to Mental Health Support) is the first point of contact for students to explore a broad range of psychological support.

Any University of Sheffield learner can register online with SAMHS and book an initial ‘triage’ appointment. At a triage appointment, the student’s suitability for one-to-one counselling at The University Counselling Service is considered as well as a wide range of other available interventions.
