Studying abroad offers significant opportunities for personal, academic, and social growth. However, it also presents unique challenges such as isolation, performance pressure, and culture shock. If your studies are impacted by mental health issues, seeking help is advisable.

- We discuss who you are, what motivates you and which complaints you experience.
- We tell you who we are and which treatments we offer.
- We discuss the insurances for which we can provide our mental health care.

| EHIC / GHIC | Regular treatment process |
| Aetna | Regular treatment process |

If The Student Psychiatrist can help you: what’s next?
A referral from a general practitioner is required.
If you don’t have a GP, we can help you by finding a GP.
After we have received the referral, official triage takes place which can have two outcomes:
- We will invite you for an intake and treatment.
- Our treatment offer does not match your needs in which case we will inform your GP.
We wish you a happy an healthy time in Groningen!
