Challenging situations

You're exactly where you're meant to be

Study. Work. Life. And sometimes all at once.

Challenging situations at the university

Study. Work. Life. And sometimes all at once. Sometimes we reach our limits in our studies or career, for example when:

  • a child needs special attention
  • a disability makes everyday life difficult
  • caring for a relative becomes an additional burden.

These situations are demanding—emotionally, organizationally, and mentally. We offer you confidential counseling and individual support to find solutions together, relieve stress, and develop new perspectives.

Our services are aimed at: Students, employees, and faculty members of the university who are facing challenging life situations.

Removing barriers. Enabling access. To ensure you can focus fully on your studies or your job, we want to provide you with the best possible support. We offer support for physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, as well as for conditions related to neurodevelopmental disorders (such as ADHD, dyslexia or autism) and mental health conditions.

The university counseling service offers advice and support

  • on questions relating to study organization, stress management, and exam anxiety
  • in difficult situations such as financial emergencies, family problems, etc.
  • in times of worry and grief


We take the time to listen to you. Every conversation with us is confidential. We will not tell anyone that you visited us or what you discussed with us. Unless you give us permission to do so. Whether it's a one-time conversation or long-term support: you decide what is best for you! And if we don't know what to do, we know of other sources of support that we can refer you to.

Caring for others starts with caring for you. Are you pregnant or already have children? The Family Service is happy to help you with any questions or challenges you may have regarding studying or working in combination with parenthood.

More than 30% of our staff provide care for close relatives. But young people can also find themselves in a situation where they have to care for relatives whilst studying: this is the reality for 11% of HHN students. This means that this group is actually larger than that of students with children.

Whether you’re studying or working, caregiving can become an enormous burden. The HHN offers advice and support services to help as much as possible.
