Guidance for personal, social and economic problems
After the Corona pandemic created a framework situation that severely impacted studies since the summer semester of 2020, placing a heavy psychological and social burden on some students, many students again faced significant mental and practical burdens due to the increased prices of many goods and services and especially the rising energy costs, impacting their studies and academic success.
To provide support through expanded counselling services during this crisis, the student services organization's social counselling program, commissioned by the university, was enabled to increase its capacity with funding from the QuiS_Plus2 program. The goal of the social counselling program is to support students in securing their livelihoods, managing debt, and better balancing income and expenses. This helps overcome social and financial difficulties and prevent over-indebtedness.
