You are not alone

Dear Vilnius University students,

Quarantine changed the way work, study and thought us the importance of technology in today's world. These kinds of changes prompted us to dedicate more attention for studies, our communication between each other differs from what we are used to. 

If You are experiencing anxiety, tension, tiredness or You are having a difficult time, feeling like you are in a crisis, try to stay in touch with people around You that You trust and tell them how You feel. Currently, it is very important to look after one another and yourself, even if our interactions are only now virtual. 

 If You are suffering from major anxiety, thinking about suicide or You are worried about Your classmate, who may be thinking about suicide, do not be left alone with this and contact University’s community psychologists for a consultation. The consults are our priority, they are free of charge (up to 3 times), confidentiality guaranteed. Registration via e-mail or phone +37065899392, +370 6 993 4818.
