Novium and Novia review the need for study psychologists at Novia

Novium conducted a survey of Novia's study psychologist services last autumn, and asked the student at Novia about the need for these services. In a short survey on social media, 222 students answered that it is important to have access to a study psychologist.

According to a national survey by the Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), every third university student has symptoms of anxiety and depression. Many students feel lonely and do not have an obvious study context, a result of the pandemic and distance learning.

Novium's board therefore sent an email about the need of study psychologist services to Novia's management team on the 15th of December 2021. Novia was positive to our email and shares our concern for students' wellbeing. Today, we can therefore publish the good news – Novia and Novium have together come up with a solution where Novia will review its study psychologist services and appoint a joint resource for the whole of Novia.
