In order to guarantee continuous mental support to students, the University of Messina has created "The Student Helpdesk - psycho-motivational support for students". This service, offered by the "CERIP - Center for Research and Intervention in Psychology" has started its activities during the academic year 2018-2019. The center offers psychological support to students to identify their strengths and weaknesses, to enhance their cognitive, emotional, relational and behavioral resources, in order to prevent and/or reduce the risk of occurrence of conditions of discomfort and mental illness. Moreover, students with specific difficulties (eg SLD, stress, anxiety, difficulties in adapting or organizing the study) have been supported by individualized psychological intervention and/or by group therapy interventions.
