Stress management for doctoral researchers

From 1 until 30 June 2024 doctoral researchers can sign up for an individualized stress-management program, more specifically six individual counseling sessions to take place in July/August. In the course of these sessions, the nature and signs of stress are discussed, personal energy givers and drainers are identified, and ways to find a better emotional balance are discussed. Forms of relaxation or mindfulness are actively sought to better cope with stress peaks. This program is offerd by STIP. You can find more information on the Studentportal UAntwerpen.
