For and by students
Students who are worried first turn to their friends. Being able to count on someone, even when you are struggling, is worth a lot. But maybe you don't know who to turn to, or perhaps you prefer to talk to someone who is not too close to you? There are many initiatives in which students offer other students a listening ear based on their own experience and insights.

Offer or find help
Would you like to support other students yourself? Or would you like to address your concerns to a fellow student? Contact the student services department of your college or university. They will point you in the direction of the existing support services of universities, colleges and student associations.
Study and relax together
At colleges and universities, you will find many wonderful student societies and clubs. They make student life fun and enjoyable by organising activities. These activities are also for those who are struggling. Besides enjoying the fun and relaxing activities, you will also build up connections with other students.
