Hilde is a trained nurse with extended education in mental health work. It is important for her to meet you with an open mind, and that you can explore the possible reasons for the arrival of difficulties together.
For some, stress with exams can be difficult to deal with, while others struggle with close relationships. Both friendship and family can be demanding! Some students carry with them difficult experiences from both childhood and adolescence. Some have experienced painful thing that still causes problems as adults and some experience painful things in adulthood. All of this can disrupt concentration and drain energy.

Cecilie is a coordinator for student relations in SSN's Department of Health Promotion and Prevention. Cecilie is also a student alongside her job and is taking a further education programme in Public Health and Life Skills.
After almost 10 years at SSN, she is well acquainted with all of SSN's good services for students and can help you with questions about everything from health reimbursement, well-being in student accommodation to everything that is important for you as a student to thrive on campus.
Do you have any questions? Do you need someone to talk to about small or big things in life? Do you need help finding an association or something else to join? Is there something going on in the flat share you live in?
On campus, you can meet an easily accessible counsellor/coordinator who you can talk to about these things and much more. In short, most things that concern you as a student - in your life outside your studies.
If you are already involved in student volunteering, you can also get help and support with student association work. If you want to get in touch with the associations on your campus, the student relations advisor/coordinator is also the person to talk to!
