Wellbeing & Support

At Kent, we understand that studying in a new country can be challenging. It can take time to settle into your new city and studies. Living far from family and adjusting to new routines can also bring added stress and difficulties.

However, we also recognize that students who look after their overall well-being tend to perform better academically. That is why we encourage you to engage in activities that support both your physical and mental health—whether that’s connecting with others, doing things you enjoy, learning strategies to manage stress, or seeking help when needed.

To support your well-being, Kent offers:

24/7 access to the Sonder well-being and safety app — This app provides immediate support, safety features, check-ins, and access to professional help anytime. Kent provides all students with Sonder for your well-being and safety.

Workshops to build your personal and professional skills, such as our LEAD Program
Social events and activities — explore what’s happening via our Events Calendar
A Reflection Room where you can take time out and recharge
On-campus staff support, where you can speak confidentially with campus staff during office hours

If you need support outside of campus hours, or require urgent assistance, please refer to the services below:
