Listening Ear - Helping Hand
No WURries connects those students who would benefit from extra support during their studies. WUR already offers support to students with functional limitations. The NoWURries group further supports students by providing a safe space where they can express their thoughts and needs, and find mutual support. You are free to be as active as you like, whether you prefer to listen or actively contribute.
Do I need to have a diagnosis?
This support group was initiated for students with functional disabilities (chronic conditions that can hinder your participation in education). These include neurodiversity (such as AD(H)D, ASD or high-sensitivity), depression, anxiety, and chronic diseases. However, you do not need a diagnosis.
Although NoWURries focuses on students with functional disabilities, we also welcome people who could use extra support due to other - temporary – circumstances. Everyone is welcome!
By and for students
We - student dean Hella, psychologist Anneke and organiser/coach Heleen - have set up this support group together with students. Your participation helps you and your fellow students but can also help the university to tailor its policy to all students’ needs. Stop by and let your voice be heard!
What does a No WURries meeting look like?
No WURries is a small gathering of students. Hella, Anneke and Heleen lead the session and will offer an informal and welcoming atmosphere. The NoWURries evenings are flexible; after an introduction round, participants are free to indicate the topics they want to discuss.
Do not hesitate to sign up or drop by for a drink, a snack and a chat.
If you have any questions or suggestions about the sessions, please get in touch with Heleen through e-mail or WhatsApp (+31 6 34612053).
