On 7th April 2020 Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Banja Luka and Association of Psychologists of the Republic of Srpska signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the launch of a psychological support service for students of the University of Banja Luka during the epidemic crisis.
It is envisaged that students of the University of Banja Luka who are facing certain difficulties and challenges of a psychological nature can seek and obtain support from certified psychotherapists free of charge and in an easy way. Students can seek support daily from 9am to 10pm by phone on 065 464 555 or by email: psiholoska.podrska@ff.unibl.org after which the coordinator will connect them with a psychotherapist.
Given the circumstances we are currently exposed to, it is expected that many of us will experience anxiety, tension, fear; loneliness and helplessness; irritability, anger and aggression; problems with concentration and learning; problems in organizing and structuring time; physical signs of anxiety; inability to communicate with loved ones; difficulty in performing daily activities, etc. In such circumstances and with such or other difficulties, we encourage students to contact the service and seek psychological support. Problems of a psychological nature should not be ignored or avoided, they deserve attention as well as physical difficulties, and it is therefore important to seek the assistance of a specialist without prejudice and delay. The duration of this service will depend on the duration and consequences of the pandemic, but we are not limited to the duration of the emergency, since numerous psychological problems persist or even arise after a troubled external situation.
The decision to launch this service was supported by the governing bodies of the University of Banja Luka, the Faculty of Philosophy, which educates psychological staff, and the Association of Psychologists of the Republic of Srpska, which brings together and represents graduate psychologists.
