Dear Students, Welcome to the November CU Point newsletter, which is once again packed with events and important information. Whether you’re interested in educational, wellbeing, or volunteering events, there's something here for everyone. Studying at a university, just as being a young adult, is demanding and brings many changes and challenges. Thus, our goal is to provide as much support as possible. Every Monday, we offer the opportunity to join an open support group for dealing with stressful situations. At the CU Point counselling centre, we now also offer counselling in Ukrainian and Russian. For a complete overview of CU Point’s counselling services, see the web pages of the Carolina Centre. Prevention is also important. Therefore, we would love to see you at our events focused on strengthening mental resilience. We hope you stay healthy and wish you a beautiful autumn! Your CU Point |
