Mental health of students

At the University of Nova Gorica, we support the national campaign against the stigmatization of mental health in Slovenia under the common slogan "Aren't you okay? Tell me more.” Because we are aware that there is not enough talk about mental health and distress. We are convinced that only if we talk about our problems out loud do we have a better chance of receiving appropriate help.

Students in mental distress can visit the website Aren't you okay? Tell me more. they get a lot of information about mental health, how we help ourselves and others, where to get help, learn about stigma and learn about personal stories of individuals.
