Health challenges affect your student life

At Sammen, we recognize that many challenges posed by lasting health issues can be similar across various conditions. Therefore, we invite you to join a group with others facing different physical challenges/illnesses.

What You Will Learn More About

Managing everyday life as a student with physical health challenges

Opportunities for accommodation and rights

Handling emotions and thoughts, techniques

Identity

Living with a body that doesn't cooperate

Acceptance - while continuing to fight

Managing pain

The goal is increased knowledge and training in tools and strategies you can use to manage everyday life and student life. Many also find it educational to meet others with similar experiences.

Practical Information

In this group/course, there is both teaching, conversations, exercises, and sharing of experiences. You decide what you want to share, including information about your health.

Number of participants: 8-12.

Each course has 8 weekly sessions lasting 2 hours each.

This is for you if:

You can participate in the entire course (preferably all 8 sessions, unless otherwise agreed)

You are a student and pay semester fees to Sammen/your institution

This is not the group for you if you

Are currently struggling with psychosis, substance abuse issues, or have serious thoughts of self-harm. In that case, we would rather help you find a more suitable offer.

Contact us at +47 55 96 88 44, register for treatment on our website, and state your interest in this offer. If you are already in treatment with us, you can be referred by your psychologist/counselor.
