Studies and surveys have shown: The need for counseling and assistance has increased significantly. For this reason, the  Center for Academic Advising and Psychological Counseling set up several “support.points” - points of contact on campus where students, doctoral students, faculty, and staff with problems and questions about mental health can spontanously get in touch with trained psychologists. In open consultation hours without long waiting times, the support.points offer talks on any kind of psychological stress. The consultations are confidential, the staff members are bound to secrecy. If desired, conversations can also be conducted anonymously.

Psychologist and psychotherapist Judith Apell is in charge of the support.point at the Department of Biology, Chemistry and Pharmacy. E-Mail: support.point.bcp@studienberatung.fu-berlin.de

However, those seeking advice can also contact the support.points of other departments during the respective office hours.
