Arcada has limited possibilities to offer support and counselling to students during the summer but we would like to remind you of some other options.
Here are some free of charge options for you if you need help with your mental well-being during summer:
Student healthcare (FSHS) is open all summer and their services are available to all degree students at Arcada. Those who has gotten their examination during spring and summer can still use their services until July 31th. New students can use their services from August 1st, if they already have paid the student healthcare fee to KELA.
Helsinki Missio offers support to young people free of charge.
MIELI Mental Health Finland provides crisis assistance and support in order to prevent mental health problems. The Crisis Helpline allows you to discuss your thoughts, feelings and situation in life with a crisis worker or a trained volunteer.
