The UvA has recently begun offering students and PhD candidates the opportunity to follow, for free, the e-health programmes of Caring Universities, under the supervision of a coach. The programmes help you address issues you may be facing - anonymously and completely free of charge. They’re aimed at improving your mood, reducing stress, overcoming procrastination, addressing eating disorders, fighting sleep deprivation and dealing with Covid-related complaints. Scientific research has demonstrated that online health programmes are effective.
Caring Universities is an initiative that aims to increase the psychological well-being of students. It’s a collaborative effort by several Dutch universities and universities of applied sciences, including the University of Amsterdam.
