Stressful situations and conflicts exist everywhere, even in everyday work at a university. What counts most is how we deal with them. Committed to respectful relationships, the University of Oldenburg strives to achieve fair and appreciative cooperation among university members. This is necessary for good working conditions and helps to foster a humane working environment.

Treating yourself and others well is important to maintaining or regaining your health and your pleasure at work. In a stressful situation, an open conversa­tion can open up avenues to the understanding and resolution of the problem, as well as its prevention in the future. Recognizing and dealing with difficult issues and conflicts as early as possible can prevent harm to the stability of employees and the ways in which they work together.

The option of psychological counselling is available to all employees of the University of Oldenburg. During working hours, it is directly available to you, without bureaucratic obstacles and in full confidentiality. The service is bound to secrecy, so your information is safe.
