HOPES – Help and orientation for mentally ill students

HOPES is aimed at students who need practical help to successfully cope with study requirements after a severe mental crisis, often also after inpatient or day-care treatment. The offer is intended as a supplement to study counselling and outpatient psychotherapeutic or psychiatric treatment. I.e. individual counselling and the HOPES group do not replace psychiatric and/or psychotherapeutic treatment.

Contact person for students with chronic illness/disability/impairment at the Central Student Advisory Service and Psychological Counseling (ZSPB)

The Central Student Advisory Service and Psychological Counseling offers information, orientation and counseling for prospective students and students on the preparation, implementation and completion of a course of study at the University of Hamburg. Many students also experience difficult personal life phases or acute stress and crisis situations during their studies, which cannot always be overcome on their own.

Psychological psychotherapists with a variety of different psychotherapeutic orientations and methods work in the Central Student Advisory Service and Psychological Counseling. Due to their many years of employment at the university, they are particularly familiar with the problems of the student life situation as well as with all questions of general student counseling. Students can turn to us with all study-related difficulties and personal concerns that affect their studies.
