Maintaining a good psychological wellbeing in the process of a doctoral project is not obvious; stress complaints in particular are common. And yet being able to cope with this stress is so important!
As a pilot project, from June 2023 doctoral researchers can apply for an individual stress management programme, provided by the Study Advice and Student Counselling Service. In this trajectory the nature and symptoms of stress will be discussed, identified which factors lead to stress and learnt how they interact. You will be helped to figure out ways to reduce the strain and strengthen the resilience. Forms of relaxation or mindfulness are actively sought in order to better cope with stress levels. The counselling programme (6 sessions) will be scheduled during
July-August-September.
You can apply from 15 June to 30 July 2023 via email. Send an email to isabelle.vloeberghs@uantwerpen.be and brecht.polspoel@uantwerpen.be.
