Reminder Regarding Counseling and Support Services

We are aware that the present political situation around the world is a source of great uncertainty and stress for many people. The war in Ukraine, the current situation in Iran, and the ongoing fragile situation in Israel, Gaza, and Syria are only a few examples of international developments that can cause significant emotional stress—particularly for individuals with personal or familial ties to these regions.

If you need any advising or support in this context, be it regarding organizational matters relating to your work or with respect to mental strain, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of counseling and support services. You can either contact your superior or the counseling services listed below to discuss these matters in confidence:

• the psychosocial counseling service of the Department of Equal Opportunity and Diversity by phone at +49 621 181-2526 or via e-mail to alessa.nickuni-mannheim.de,
• the team of the university outpatient clinic for psychotherapy (individual, couples, family, and group therapy) (Psychotherapeutischen Hochschulambulanz für Einzel-, Paar-, Familien- und Gruppentherapie EPFG) (IN-CARE),
• the psychotherapeutic outpatient clinic for children and adolescents up to the age of 21 via e-mail to Ambulanz-KiJuuni-mannheim.de,
• the team of the outpatient mental health clinic at the Otto Selz Institute via e-mail to sekretariat.osiuni-mannheim.de or by phone at +49 621 181-3489.

Please do not hesitate to ask for advice and support. The University of Mannheim sees itself as a place where a strong sense of community and mutual consideration play a central role.
