Wellbeing at ROM Theatre Arts

At ROM Theatre Arts, we are dedicated to creating a nurturing, secure, and supportive environment for every student. We know that embarking on higher education is a significant transition, and our priority is to ensure that students feel guided, cared for, and empowered at every stage of their training.

​

A Supportive Community

From day one, each new student is paired with a student buddy — a peer mentor who has already experienced life at ROM and can offer guidance, reassurance, and practical advice. Alongside this, our professional support services are always available to address the full spectrum of social, emotional, and mental health needs.

​

Mental Health & Wellbeing

We are proud to be partnered with One Dance UK, giving our students access to an industry-leading wellness package.

 

This includes:

• Professional counselling services with qualified therapists, accessible confidentially and directly.

• A Virtual GP service for quick, private access to medical advice.

• Regular wellness tutorials in academic and pastoral settings.

• Weekly sessions with a qualified counsellor, covering themes such as resilience, self-awareness, stress management, and emotional wellbeing.

• On-site Mental Health First Aiders trained to identify issues early and connect students with the right support.

 

Our proactive approach ensures students are never left to struggle alone, and that mental wellbeing is treated as a vital part of professional training.

​

Physical Health

​

Performing arts training is physically demanding, and we prioritise the health of every student’s body as well as their mind. ROM maintains strong links with local physiotherapists and chiropractors, many within walking distance of campus, ensuring expert care is always accessible.

​

On site, students also benefit from:

​

• A dedicated fitness suite for strength, conditioning, and rehabilitation.

• Access to first aiders trained to support immediate needs.

• Recommendations and advice on private health insurance, providing additional peace of mind for long-term care or unexpected medical costs.

​

Our Commitment

We believe that exceptional training requires exceptional care. By investing in mental and physical wellbeing, ROM Theatre Arts ensures that every student is supported holistically — enabling them to train at the highest level, recover quickly from challenges, and build resilience for a long and healthy career in the performing arts.
