Absence from college course

How many days can you take off before you loose your place at college. Due to see the mental health practitioner at the Dr surgery tommorow as not been feeling myself since December. I thought I was doing well with coursework but most have been returned a month later to redo. I have already used my three self certs for last week and thinking of asking for a sickline for another week.

Hello. You have done really well to use this space to be honest about how you are feeling. It feels positive that you have reached out to your MH practitioner, we hope you are given the support you are looking for. Maybe take some time following that appointment to speak to someone from the wellbeing service at college, to discuss your options regarding your coursework. If you are feeling like suicide is an option right now, you can call Hopeline247 on 0800 068 14 14 or text on 88247 to speak to a trained suicide prevention adviser who will be more than happy to help.
