Professional advice from social work at university

Finding and maintaining balance in everyday life is not always easy. Challenges and stressful situations during the studies as well as in private life sometimes demand a lot of strength. At FH Campus Wien, social work at university offers advice and support in times when things are not going so smoothly.

Activating resources and relieving stress

Social work at university is designed to provide professional support for difficult situations at the interface between studies and private life. Perhaps you need more information in a stressful situation, additional input - or a sympathetic ear to help you organize your thoughts? The aim is to activate resources, identify new possibilities and develop solutions through counseling.

Social work at university will be starting in the winter semester 2024/25 with free open consultation hours for students of the Bachelor's degree program in Health Care and Nursing in buildings F and E (Favoritenstraße 222) at FH Campus Wien. Social worker Sarah Wolf provides one-off advice or - depending on the resources available - support over a longer period of time. The cooperation is confidential and subject to a duty of confidentiality.

In these situations, the advisory service supports, for example

  • crises
  • worries and fears
  • pressure to perform
  • stress
  • fear of exams
  • excessive demands
  • problems with time management
  • group dynamic issues (e.g. exclusion, bullying, contact difficulties)
  • mental health issues
  • material issues (housing, scholarships, etc.)
  • conflicts
  • difficult decisions
  • all other study-related and personal concerns

Social work at university offers

  • professional help in problem situations
  • information on study-related and personal issues
  • support in times of crisis
  • relief if you want to discuss and sort out stressful issues in a safe and protected environment
  • empowerment through the activation of resources
  • orientation when solutions are developed together
  • targeted referral to suitable counseling and support services within and outside the university
