Student Wellbeing Support

Homerton students are all supported by the College Health & Wellbeing Team. This includes your Tutor, the Senior Tutor Team (Penny Barton, Georgie Horrell, Miles Stopher), the Postgraduate Tutor (Melanie Keene), the Wellbeing Coordinator (Grace Hernandez), the Student Health Advisor (Sandy Chambers) and College Counsellors (Catherine Snelson & Carole MacIntyre-Jones).

Additional pastoral care is also provided by members of the Tutorial Office, the Porters' Lodge and the Duty Tutor. Our student welfare teams also play an important role in providing peer support to any students who feel they need help or advice.

Every student is an individual, and may seek different types of support for specific times in their student life. The information on this page shows the range of help available and who to contact.
