During this period of confinement, it is essential that UNIGE students can continue to express themselves and to be listened to. The psychological service of the University's Health Centre provides them with a telephone hotline: +41 22 379 74 41.

They can contact a psychologist in the department directly, who will listen to them in complete confidentiality and help them, if necessary, to refer them to the resources that will meet your expectations.

Students also have the possibility of making an appointment with the psychologists who are available to them and offer confidential interviews electronically.

The sessions are temporarily free of charge.

For UNIGE employees

Student initiatives

As part of our mission to support our local community, UNIGE is encouraging this kind of solidarity. Nevertheless, community initiatives are the sole responsibility of their organizers. It is up to them to ensure that everyone is kept safe by making sure that their members and other people involved in their initiatives meet the health and safety requirements issued by the relevant authorities – especially the requirements of the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH).

For UNIGE students

The Geneva medical student association (AEMG) is giving students the chance to offer their services temporarily. Students can sign up to provide clinical support at the Geneva University Hospital, childcare services or other assistance to individuals.
