Help you can get
At the Student Health Service, you can get different types of support and help. Our nurses and curators can offer you counselling and give you health advice. We also offer courses, group sessions, lectures and podcasts, among other things. You can contact us with all kinds of questions and issues – they do not have to be related to your studies. We can also guide you to the right health care unit.

Counselling
Book an individual session with one of our counsellors. The topic you want to talk about does not have to relate to your studies. The conversation lasts about 45 minutes, after which you can decide whether you want to book a return visit. You will need to show your ID at your first visit.
Health advice
Our nurses can provide you with advice, support and guidance on different health issues. We offer health talk appointments, during which you can talk about your health and life situation. The aim is to promote your health during your studies and in the future. You can also talk about sexual health.

CBT and sustainable lifestyles
Sustainable lifestyles
How we live affects our physical and mental health, but also our ability to perform and achieve our study goals. With our nurses, you can discuss your eating, sleeping and drinking habits, physical activity, smoking and ergonomics.
Learn more about health

Films on health and studies
The Student Health Service’s films from lectures and courses can help you during your studies.
How to deal with worry
- You do not have to read or watch everything. A lot of information and photos of the war are distributed via social media. Limit the amount of news and avoid them right before going to bed.
- Activate yourself. Try to stop your worries from taking over by focusing on something that makes you feel good. We all need a break from our thoughts. You can, for example, exercise, hang out with friends, watch movies, paint, do crafts or listen to music.
- Stick to your routines. Try to eat and sleep at regular times. Meet with those you usually meet. Go to scheduled lectures and continue with your self-study as usual.
- Exercise. Physical activity releases substances in the body that make you feel better and reduce stress. It does not have to be hard training – daily walks can be enough.
- Engage yourself. If you are worried, it can be helpful if you do something about it and help those affected in some way. Think about how you can help or support those who are having a difficult time.
