According to the 2016 student social survey, almost half of the students surveyed stated that they suffered from psychological pressure, stress or other impairments during their studies. We are aware that many of our students are under heavy strain during the course of their studies and therefore see it as our responsibility to offer help to students in problematic and crisis situations in order to prevent potentially serious consequences in advance.
We have therefore decided to offer psychological counseling for students in Leoben. Together with cooperating psychologists and psychological institutions, the aim is to enable students to obtain inexpensive psychological help.
If you are interested in a first counseling unit, you can simply contact one of the psychologists listed below and make an appointment with reference to the psychological counseling for students of the ÖH Leoben.
How does the payment / refund for psychological counseling work?
Those taking part in our project offer you advice at € 60 per unit. These costs are initially paid by the student himself. Afterwards, the fee note can be submitted with the application for a refund of the costs here and will then be reimbursed by the ÖH. Refunds can only be requested within four months of the date of issue.
Basically 5 units are funded by the ÖH. We will finance the first unit completely, for the other four units you only have a deductible of € 20. One year after the first session, you can take advantage of the funding again.
If you find yourself in social or financial difficulties, you can also apply for full reimbursement of the costs or support for three additional units . If you are unable to bear the costs of the psychological counseling yourself in acute financial emergency situations, there is also the possibility that we will provide you with the money for the respective unit in advance. Contact the social department directly about this.
