Advice and assistance
Exam nerves? Blackout? Stress? Writer's block? Sometimes you don't have the drive to deal with your studies. Or the question arises whether the decision to study was the right one. There are also people who find it difficult to say "No!" or who have difficulty giving a presentation in front of others. Some take stimulants to get through the day or simply don't know how to go on in life.
Good advice is needed for these questions, but also for multiple stresses and strains in your studies. Not every crisis can be overcome alone, which is why BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg offers professional support:
You can contact Dr. Jonas Neubert at the Central Student Guidance and Counselling Office.
Furthermore, there is the following external offer, among others:

Psychological counseling by the Studentenwerk Frankfurt (Oder)
Students can make use of the individual psychological counseling if there is a need for counseling regarding study-related problems as well as problems in the personal environment and if there is no exemption from the student union fee.

Taking care of relatives in need of care means a great deal of time and organizational effort. As part of the Digital Health Berlin/Brandenburg (ZDG) initiative, the German Federal Ministry of Health will provide digital solutions (apps) to help organize everyday care for a one-year test phase starting in December 2021.
The apps Nui & Family Cockpit can help caregiving relatives and those in need of care to organize everyday care. For example, they can share tasks and important information digitally with other members of the care community.
Interested parties from the Berlin/Brandenburg region can take part in the test now. Participation in the test is free of charge.
More information and the participation form can be found at: http://www.zukunftsregion-digitale-gesundheit.de/ The ZDG office will be happy to answer any questions you may have at info@zdg-bb.de.
