Promoting mental health and wellbeing on campus

Lost in everyday university life? Doubts about your choice of subject? Procrastination? Stress? Conflicts in your personal life? Our psychologists in the support.points are happy to help you with these and all other concerns about mental health in your studies. A consultation is limited to 10 to 30 minutes. You can describe your concerns and, together with the advisor, work out initial solutions or strategies. Sometimes such a conversation is enough. If not, the counselors will inform you about further contact points within the university and beyond. The consultations are confidential, the staff members are bound to secrecy. If desired, conversations can also be conducted anonymously.

Of course, you can also drop by one of the support.points with concerns that are not related to your studies.

The support.point at the Department of Educational Science and Psychology is located in the Silberlaube in room JK24/122. The psychologist there is Elisabeth Wentker. She offers open consultation hours without prior appointment (Tuesday and Thursday) as well as an consultation hour with appointment (Thursday on campus and Friday online). The current consultation hours and further information can be found here.

The doors of the other support.points (including the Department of Philosophy and Humanities in the Rostlaube, Department of History and Cultural Studies in the Holzlaube) are also open to you. As staff members/lecturers you can also contact the support.points.
