Welfare Overview

The welfare team are here first and foremost to look after you, as students at Trinity, and provide you with anything you might need, from condoms to cake to counselling. Here are some of the things your welfare team can provide:

• Contraception and sexual health supplies, all provided discreetly

• A chat with a trained peer-supporter about any issue affecting you, no matter how big or small

• Information about useful resources to tackle a wide range of problems you may be having

• Awareness about sexual and mental health

• A weekly welfare tea & snack session to catch up with others in college

• Other social events such as paintballing trips, ice-skating and a termly pudding party.

The welfare team consists of:

• The college's Welfare Dean

• The JCR welfare reps, contact details for whom are on the committee page

• The College Nurse

• The college doctors, Dr Knox and Dr Becker, who run weekly clinics in college and are GPs at Summertown Health Centre

• The JCR peer-supporters, who run regular peer-support sessions

• [Not Flo Anymore] is trained as a First Respondent for incidents of sexual violence: she can listen to any disclosures about recent and historic sexual violence and help you through any action you wish to take

So for help with any of the above, or anything else that may be bothering you, do get in touch with a member of your friendly welfare team.
