Groups that support mental well-being
The selection of group activity services related to mental health consists of StressLess training groups, Depression school and Anxiety management groups. In addition to these, service units may provide other groups as well.
Our group activities approach is practical. Participants receive in them information about problems related to mental health. And participants learn self-treatment techniques and also learn from other peers who have the same type of issues. The focus at the groups is practicing. Each participant can share their own experiences at the group to the extent they feel comfortable about it. All participants are bound to keep the discussions at the groups as confidential.
You can apply for some groups using the Self online form, while for some groups you need guidance from an appointment or our assessment of the need for treatment. You must inform us of possible absences well in advance in order to avoid the fee for unattended appointments.
Information regarding the group activities is updated at the beginning of autumn and spring semester. Additional information about group activities can be received at the service units.
During the autumn semester 2024, we will organize the following groups in English
