Finding personal or spiritual help

Homesick? Depressed? This guide tells you how the Chaplaincy can support you.

Feeling homesick?

Feeling a bit homesick is quite a common experience for new students - male or female, of any age or background. Don't feel embarrassed by your feelings - talk about them with a friend, your Resident or Academic Tutor.

Your feelings are normal and they usually go away after a while. If they persist longer than you expect, please come and talk to a Chaplain. Don't suffer alone!

Spiritual questions?

Why me? What have I done to deserve this? What is the meaning of my life? Is there life after death? Why do people suffer? Are religion and science friends or foes? The Chaplaincy is here to help you wrestle with these (and other) important questions. We don't know all the answers, but we can help you find them for yourself.

We often have public lectures and discussion groups on hot issues. Email your question to chaplaincy@bath.ac.uk.

Personal crisis?

Does it feel like your world is falling apart? Are you stressed out and don't know what to do about it? Perhaps a personal relationship has ended, or a loved one has died? All these are life events that can throw us off balance.

The Chaplaincy Team are here for you. For an appointment with one of the Chaplains, please email chaplaincy@bath.ac.uk or WhatsApp message 07970 768275. In an emergency contact Security.

Prayer request?

Whatever your experience of prayer, you are welcome to any of the prayer times at the Chaplaincy Centre. Or just call in anytime for a quiet moment in our Prayer Corner. We have Bibles in 10 different languages, and a shelf of resources on prayer.

Need to speak to someone?

The Chaplaincy Centre is open every day until 11.00pm. A member of the Chaplaincy Team is often there during the day but if you need to contact us you can WhatsApp message 07970 768275. In an emergency contact Security.

The university has compiled a Wellbeing A-Z, a set of practical tips and resources to support your wellbeing which can be found here.
