For a sustainable student life
Feel good during your studies! When your university or college offers student health services through Feelgood, we can help you if you are feeling unwell due to something related to your studies, free of charge. You are not alone; everyone needs student health services at some point during their studies. When you receive support in creating well-being and stability in your life, and in dealing with the challenges you face, you get to know yourself better and prepare yourself for the future. We offer both physical and digital visits.
Currently, the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology are affiliated with Feelgood's student health services.
When your health is affected by your studies
If you feel that you have health concerns caused by your studies or other problems that affect your ability to study, you can get support from Feelgood's student health services. If the problems are not study-related, you should seek help from the general healthcare system instead. If you find it difficult to assess whether your perceived ill health is caused by your studies, you can still contact Feelgood for an initial consultation. We will make an individual assessment and, if it is not study-related, we can refer you to other care providers.
Don't wait too long; there is support and help available to help you feel good during your studies.
