Help, I’m having a crisis!
 
The pandemic is taking its toll, with few social contacts, a lack of predictability, and concerns about the future.

Add to that conflicts, writer's block, loneliness in the home office, family pressures, and things can quickly get out of hand.

You're not alone!
Talk about it and reach out for support!
In case you need help …

… you can count on us!

As a member of the Graduate Academy, you can benefit from our wide range of counseling and support services, such as:
  •     Coaching, conflict counseling, and mediation,
  •     writing and career advice,
  •     funding programs,
  •     workshops on topics such as mindfulness or conflict management
  •     and new: our Mentoring Program!
