Unit 3: Help and support with personal concerns

If you feel overwhelmed with your studies, if a personal situation is stressing you out or if you suffer from exam nerves, you can contact the psychosocial counselling service of the Studierendenwerk Thüringen. This is available to all students at Thuringian universities. In various counselling formats, you can discuss your concerns with a neutral, unbiased person. After an initial meeting, you and your counsellor will decide how you would like to proceed. Even if you are not affected yourself, but are worried about a person in your family, circle of friends or close environment, you can turn to psychosocial counselling. Everything that is discussed in the counselling sessions is subject to professional secrecy and is treated confidentially.
