Wellbeing services

Haaga-Helia offers preventive services to support students in advancing in their studies, students' wellbeing, and mental health. The services are targeted at students who have challenges that directly affect studies, such as problems with motivation, study skills, stress or time management.

Do you need help with your wellbeing? Do you have study-related challenges? Haaga-Helia's Study psychologists are there to discuss your situation.
Are you stugling with your studies, motivation or having difficult finding strength to study? Study coaches are here to help you.
Do you have challenges related to learning? Do you need support with dyslexia? You can contact our Special needs teachers and guidance counsellors.
Would you like to talk in private about any issue in life? The University chaplain is there for you.

If you have you problems with your mental health, you feel that you have lost functional capacity or you have faced a crisis, please contact healthcare services such as FSHS or crisis services.
