None of us is unaffected by the war raging in Ukraine and it is only natural to be anxious. There has been no war in Europe since the late 1990s, and it has been a long time since such acts of war have been seen on European soil. Many of us are anxious.
In such a situation, it is important to see each other and be extra attentive in terms of talking to each other, even about the serious things. This applies to both students and staff, and as a student at INN University you have access to services that can help you if you have difficult thoughts and need someone to talk to.
Need someone to talk to?
If you need someone to talk to, you can contact the following:
- SINN Health
- SINN: psychologists, student coordinators.
- Student chaplains at INN University. If you are worried or scared and need to talk to someone, contact INN University's student chaplains. The student chaplains have a duty of confidentiality, and the service is free.
Are you going on an exchange abroad?
Even if the country you are going to is not directly affected by the situation, it is important to be extra careful and follow INN University’s routines for safety abroad:
- Before you travel, fill in the Declaration of Personal Information form. If the information you have provided in the information form has changed, you must inform the international coordinator at your campus about the changes.
