Wake Up Student Coaching

If you struggle with mental health, stress, fear of failure, or motivation problems, you can sign up for various coaching trajectories at Wake Up Student Coaching. In these trajectories, your personal challenges and complaints receive the attention they need. 

You can also contact them for study- and career advice. You can plan your intake within a week after registration. Finally, they offer various workshops and write blogs about things relevant to students. For more information, you can click the following link: Wakeupstudent.nl | Student Coaching

Not Alone

Not Alone is a voluntary peer-counseling service based in Groningen. They aim to build a community of peers who support each other through their experiences. Through a training programme (created by psychology students), they aim to take on and train volunteers in peer social support skills that would enable them to offer their services (through Not Alone) to anyone who requests them.
