Many students occasionally struggle with their mental health for various reasons. Whether it is stress related to exams, personal difficulties, or simply having a lot on your mind, it is important to remember that you are not alone. Many students experience similar struggles at some point during their studies, and talking about them can make a real difference.
At Asset | Econometrics, we want to create a safe and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves and openly sharing their feelings. That is why we offer several ways to find support, talk to someone, or report a situation in which you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
On this page, you can find an overview of the different options available to you.
Walk-and-Talk
Sometimes, all you need is someone who listens. Through our Walk-and-Talk initiative, you can talk to fellow members of Asset | Econometrics about anything that is on your mind. Whether you are experiencing exam stress or dealing with personal difficulties, you are always welcome to have a coffee or go for a walk together.
Confidential Contact Persons
Would you like to talk to someone about something personal or something that is bothering you? Our Confidential Contact Persons offer a listening ear in a safe and supportive environment. You can choose someone from within Asset | Econometrics or reach out to confidential contact persons outside our association. They can also help you find the right support if needed.
Confidential Email
If you prefer not to have a face-to-face conversation, you can contact our confidential email address. This provides an alternative way to share personal concerns or situations in which you do not feel safe at the association.
Anonymous Report
Have you experienced or witnessed something that you would like to report? Through our anonymous reporting form, you can share your concerns or bring an incident to our attention without having to disclose your identity.
Other Options
Sometimes, you may need support beyond what our association can offer. Tilburg University and other organisations provide additional resources, including the Educational Coordinator, Student Psychologist, University Confidential Contact Persons, 113 Suicide Prevention, and In je bol. On this page, you can find more information about these services and how to reach them.
Remember: you do not have to face everything alone. Whether you want to talk to someone, ask for advice, or report a situation, there are people and resources available to support you. Please do not hesitate to reach out whenever you feel the need to do so.
