For students
Are you struggling with stress, fear of failure, motivation or concentration problems? Are you unsure about your choice of study programme, or are you finding it difficult to cope with personal or mental health issues? Our student psychologists will listen to your story and work with you to find the support that best suits your situation. You can choose from individual support, DIY tips or group sessions on a range of topics.
For staff
Are you struggling with stress, a conflict, inappropriate behaviour, addiction, a traumatic event or other psychosocial concerns? Depending on your situation, you can turn to a range of wellbeing professionals and points of contact: from internal contacts and formal points of contact to external wellbeing partners and independent helplines.
About the You Are Not Alone campaign
At VUB, the wellbeing of students and staff is a top priority. We want to be a warm and caring community where everyone feels supported. That is why we are strengthening our approach to psychosocial wellbeing, with the ambition of making wellbeing the beating heart of our university by 2030. Education, research and societal engagement remain our core missions.
To turn this ambition into reality, VUB is launching You Are Not Alone, or YANA for short. The campaign makes the university’s support for psychosocial wellbeing clearer and more accessible. When you need support, it is important to know quickly where to turn, who can help you and what to expect. By bringing all the information together in a clear and accessible way, we make the path to support easier.
Together, we are building a community of care where every student and staff member feels safe, heard and supported.
