Online self-support modules
The online platform Mirro offers online and anonymous approaches to find help for mental health problems.
Social well-being
The university offers a lot of options for building social relationships during your time at university. Take a look on this website for an overview.
Listening ear
Sometimes you may also find yourself struggling with questions that require understanding and a ‘listening ear’ rather than psychological help. On this website, you will find various organisations offering a listening ear, like All Ears.

Important:
Don't forget to inform the
student advisor
of your degree program if you have extraordinary circumstances at the start of your studies or within 4 weeks of the circumstances occcuring during your studies. Even if you do not expect or have study delay yet. This is a condition for certain (financial) arrangements and we can help you with planning, support and advice on possible arrangements.
