Health and wellbeing

ESPÉ gives every student free, confidential access to a psychologist outside the school, emotion management workshops at the start of the Bachelor and the Master of Science, and access to the university preventive medicine service.

Why a school of psychology must be exemplary here

Studying psychology stirs things up. Students work on suffering, and that sometimes wakes their own. This is common, documented, and says nothing about their ability to become good practitioners.

Using the school's support is confidential and has no bearing whatsoever on assessment.

What the school offers

A psychologist outside the school

The school gives you access to a psychologist outside ESPÉ, entirely free of charge and in complete confidence, with no justification required.

Emotion management workshops

Offered free at the start of the Bachelor and the Master of Science, to learn techniques usable day to day, particularly against anxiety.

Addiction: help and support

Awareness campaigns are run with experts and doctors. Student life officers can also discuss your consumption, without judgement, and point you towards care.

Named contacts

One academic contact per programme, a disability contact and a harassment contact.

The medical centre

The university preventive medicine service offers general medicine and gynaecology consultations, nursing care and psychological support. It is open Monday to Friday, from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm.
