Have you already explored group treatment options FSHS offers? Participants have praised their safe atmosphere and the research-based practical tips on improving one’s health. This Autumn, we offer two groups in English to support your mental health, the StressLess coaching course and Depression school.
Some groups meet remotely, while others are held in-person at service units.
You can join certain groups independently via the Self online service, while others require a referral from a medical appointment or a from the assessment for the need for treatment team.
Mental well-being in an accepting atmosphere
At present, the mental health groups FSHS arranges are Depression school, the treatment programme for depression, the anxiety management group, aimed at student suffering from social anxiety or performance anxiety, and the StressLess coaching course, which combats negative stress and excessive worrying. In these groups, different tools are explored that help students work on their challenges even after the group has finished meeting.
