Together Against Performance Pressure
The psychosocial counselors at Studierendenwerk Thüringen are expanding their portfolio again this semester. The group offers starting in May provide students with the opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow students who find themselves in similar life or stress situations. The moderated dialogue is intended to help discover new perspectives and try out alternative solution strategies for everyday university life.
In particular, the topics of exam anxiety and interpersonal conflicts weigh on many young adults during their academic careers. To create a valuable and open space for experience, the professional group leaders ensure a safe and protected environment for all participants, according to Studierendenwerk.
Background: Psychological Support During Studies
As a classic university city with the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität (FSU) and the Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule (EAH), tens of thousands of students shape the image of Jena. In addition to the regular learning workload, many young people are confronted with performance pressure, fear of the future, family expectations, or social isolation.
Studierendenwerk Thüringen acts as a central point of contact. In addition to managing cafeterias and student residences, psychosocial counseling is an elementary part of the institution’s infrastructure. Experts advise students to seek help early in cases of persistent stress, sleep problems, exam blocks, or depressive moods to prevent chronification. The counseling services of Studierendenwerk are generally free of charge for enrolled students, strictly confidential, and subject to legal professional secrecy.
