HOPES – Help and orientation for mentally ill students

HOPES is a service offered by the Central Academic Advising and Psychological Counseling Service (ZSPB) to provide concrete study support for students with mental illnesses at the University of Hamburg who want and need practical help to successfully cope with study requirements after a severe mental crisis, often also after inpatient or day-care treatment. The offer is intended as a supplement to study counseling and outpatient psychotherapeutic or psychiatric treatment. There is a semester-long group offering as well as individual counseling.

HOPES is offered by the University of Hamburg in cooperation with the Social Psychiatric Psychosis Outpatient Clinic of the UKE, the University's Disability Officer, the Studierendenwerk Hamburg, the Hamburg Employment Agency and the Hamburg Vocational Training Center (BTZ).

Contact person for students with chronic illness/disability/impairment at the Central Student Advisory Service and Psychological Counseling (ZSPB)

The Central Student Advisory Service and Psychological Counseling offers information, orientation and counseling for prospective students and students on the preparation, implementation and completion of a course of study at the University of Hamburg. Many students also experience difficult personal life phases or acute stress and crisis situations during their studies, which cannot always be overcome on their own.

Psychological psychotherapists with a variety of different psychotherapeutic orientations and methods work in the Central Student Advisory Service and Psychological Counseling. Due to their many years of employment at the university, they are particularly familiar with the problems of the student life situation as well as with all questions of general student counseling. Students can turn to us with all study-related difficulties and personal concerns that affect their studies.

Provider of integration assistance for disabled persons to attend a university according to the Social Code Book Twelve (SGB XII) - "Study assistance".

Within the framework of integration assistance for people with disabilities/impairments according to the Social Code Book XII, substantially disabled students can be granted benefits for disability-related study-related additional needs for attending a university (e.g. sign language interpreters, study assistants, travel costs), which are not included in the general education support according to the Federal Education Assistance Act (BAföG).

The prerequisite is that there is no other priority cost unit. Responsible for the application and approval in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg are the basic security and social welfare offices in the districts. For more information, please refer to the "Study Assistance for Disabled Persons at Universities" instruction issued by the Hamburg Ministry of Social Affairs, Family, Health and Consumer Protection.
