A bit about us
A collaborative project
Samtalen is a collaborative project between Studentinord and Norges Arktiske Studentsamskipnad, with the goal of giving all students good mental health support regardless of location.
Together we want to create an accessible and inclusive service that meets the needs of the modern student. By combining expertise, experience and digital solutions across our organisations, we can offer support to students all over the country.
The background
Student life has changed. More and more students are studying fully or partly online, and many live far from campus and student communities.
While flexible study formats offer greater freedom, they can also make it harder to access support, counselling services and other campus-related services. This service was established to help ensure that all students have equal opportunities to get help, guidance and support, regardless of where they live or study.
The service
With Samtalen you can book psychological counselling sessions for free and digitally, whenever suits you best. This is a tailored service for students studying outside of campus — online, part-time or in a distance-learning programme.
We believe good student support shouldn't depend on geography. That's why we work to make counselling and our services available to students who don't have a physical campus to go to.
What can you talk to us about?
No challenge is too big or too small. Topics can include:
- Stress and performance pressure
- Motivation and study habits
- Loneliness and belonging
- Worries and difficult thoughts
- Relationships and heartbreak
- Balancing studies, work and personal life
- Transitions and important life choices
