The Mix
Support for under-25s on anything at all — mental health, money, housing, relationships, drugs.
Students
University and college support, including out-of-hours cover when campus services are closed.
These are services built specifically for students — the tag means the service is set up and its staff are trained for this, not that anyone else is turned away.
