After meeting with the study coordinators of the BA International Studies, student psychologists and counsellors, the student support services work group launched the Wanna Talk About It campaign – a campaign dedicated to effectively communicating where students of Campus the Hague can find the resources that they need in difficult times.

There is often a lot of jargon used to describe mental health,  but matters do not have to be complicated. If you feel under too much pressure, overwhelmed, stressed, lonely, fatigued or have been diagnosed with a mental disorder, illness, disability or impairment; student support services are here to help! 

These are people that can support you:
- Study Coordinators (stuco’s): Stucos don’t just advise with the academic side of student life but also personal issues, including student health and well-being. If you are unsure of which service to contact, first go to your Stuco.
- Student Psychologists: The student psychologists can offer assistance and advice in both study-related and personal situations, including but not exclusively mental health related issues.
- Student Counsellors/Fenestra Centre: Student counsellors of the Fenestra Disability Centre provide support for students studying with an ‘exceptional circumstance’ such as a mental or physical disabilities, illnesses, disorders or impairments. You can also make an appointment with the counsellors regarding legal implications that come with disabilities/illnesses in relation to your coursework and exams.
