Dear UP student,

As we navigate through this exam period, it’s important to remember that feeling overwhelmed is completely normal. This time can be particularly stressful, and it's okay to seek help. The University of Pretoria's 24/7 Careline (0800 747 747) is here to support you anytime you need.

Some problems may feel complex and hard to solve, but reaching out for support is a strong first step towards finding solutions. Talking to someone can make a significant difference.

We also encourage everyone to look out for each other. If you notice a friend struggling, don’t hesitate to encourage them to seek help. We are a community, and together, we can make sure no one feels alone.

Remember, you’ve done incredibly well to get this far, and even if it doesn’t feel like it right now, there is always help available.

Stay strong, stay connected, and don’t hesitate to reach out.

We're here for you,

Student Counselling Unit
