Wow, I did not know this about you @Maria ! How useful it is…
The student program you mentioned, was it addressed to any and all students? What was it exactly that helped them cross that point between resistance and accepting support? Have you been involved in actually providing assistance? Wow, that programs seem like they are not hard to implement (even if non-mandatory one can still promote them so that you have more people asking for help than with the offer absent!). I wonder why we never had those. I just realised there is a personal story there - from the two hardest years I’ve had as a masters student. Maybe I will write it someday soon.
Also, how do you feel about a sort of less formalized, adhoc group therapy via twitter? There is a story here about organising twitter chats to access information and support - and supposedly it can get therapeutic, maybe you would be interested to connect with the team at WeCommunities?
