Support for loneliness

Many students experience loneliness and do not know what help is available or where to get it. Loneliness affects learning ability, motivation, and resilience, but it is often difficult to get out of the harmful circle it creates. However, support and help specifically for students is available.

Mutual discussion support with a trained professional is available in Finnish immediately and also throughout the summer!

• Book an appointment for yourself from the HelsinkiMission online service. The service is in Finnish.
• If you know Finnish and can also read the Loneliness Workbook

Nyyti’s Chat

In July, our chat will take a break. This autumn's first English-language chat will take place on Tuesday 30 August.

The subject is How to find friends at the beginning of studies?

You may be moving to a new location and looking for new friends? How to manage in Finnish student culture? How can I find my place in my student community at campus or online? Let’s chat about it and share our thoughts!

Check out all our autumn chats on our website.
