Whom to talk to

If you wish to talk to someone anonymously, you can turn to a helpline when you need it. Usually, volunteers or mental health professionals answer these calls to offer anonymous mental support.

If you want to talk about it with people who know you well, you can share your feelings with people close to you, whether they are friends or family members. They will be able to listen to you and support you in any way they can, even if they live far away. If you would like to learn how to speak out, you can use the tool "Putting words on your pain" by clicking here.

You can talk about your difficulties to different professionals, such as a general practitioner, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, a nurse, a social worker, etc. You can meet these professionals in private practice, in public or private health care structures, or at your university's healthcare centre. You can find out more about the different types of professionals in our mini dictionary, or find free psychological support for students on this website.
