UCARMHSS
UCARMHSS is the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin Mental Health Student Service.
The service provides psychological support and care to students who are studying at the universities within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough areas.
Treatment is provided by clinicians from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust following funding provided by the universities and the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care Board.
Who is eligible for help?
Any student registered at either the University of Cambridge or Anglia Ruskin University who are studying within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough areas and meet the criteria for the specialist support offered by UCARMHSS.
All students need to be registered with a GP in Cambridgeshire or Peterborough to access initial help from their respective Student Support Services teams.
How are students referred to UCARMHSS?
Students should first contact their respective Student Support Services who can then refer them to the UCARMHSS team if eligible.
What support is available?
UCARMHSS offers a range of evidenced-based psychological and psychiatric therapies and treatments.
If you are a student referred to the service, you will first be offered an initial assessment, and then – in partnership with your clinician – you will agree on a treatment plan.
If further treatment is still required at the end of the plan, it may be offered by UCARMHSS, by another mental health service at CPFT, or by your university’s Student Support Service, as appropriate to meet your needs at that time.
