<\/figure>\n\nYou can call the Nightline<\/a>. Your anonymous phone line from students for students. No counseling takes place. <\/p>\n\n You can use our Coaching<\/a>. Please note the difference between therapy and coaching. <\/p>\n\n If possible, free public health insurance slots will be arranged. If you need other things like a confirmation for study grant, a neurologist, etc., they can also help you with that. <\/p>\n\n This is where you usually start and get an appointment really quickly. There is an initial consultation in which the situation is clarified and it’s discussed what could help you. Then there are some follow-up consultations. For many, this is enough to be able to study again! <\/p>\n\n Make an appointment by email with our TU-internal <\/strong>Psychosocial Student Counseling<\/strong><\/a> (If you have difficulty reaching Ms. Springer, send us an email to sozial@htu.at<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n Or make an appointment with the Psychological Student Counseling<\/a>. There are also group offers available on the topic of learning and study organization. <\/p>\n\n Either our TU-internal Psychosocial Student Counseling<\/a> and explain your emergency situation to get an appointment faster or call the Psychosocial Emergency Service<\/a>. The focus of the Psychosocial Emergency Service is on psychiatric emergencies. There are psychiatrists on site who can make a diagnosis and prescribe medication. <\/p>\n\n You can find a psychologist\/psychotherapist yourself, e.g. at the Professional Association of Austrian Psychologists<\/a> or at the Austrian Federal Association for Psychotherapy<\/a>. They will tell you their hourly rate and you pay yourself. You can apply for a cost subsidy from your health insurance company via the therapist. You will always receive a cost subsidy for the first 10 sessions, for all further sessions you have to submit a very detailed application. Nevertheless, you still bear the costs predominantly yourself. <\/p>\n\n You have to ask the psychologist\/psychotherapist of your choice (see option 3) whether a fully funded public health insurance slot is available. A search with free public health insurance slots for Vienna can be found, for example, at the Vienna Society for Psychotherapeutic Care<\/a> (select free \u00d6GK slots). At the family doctor you either get information material on how to get a public health insurance slot or he\/she is well connected and recommends someone who has a slot available. It may take longer to get a place. <\/p>\n\n It depends on finding the right association here. Some places feel responsible, for example, for women, women with a migration background, others for men with aggression problems. There are often waiting lists and you will be informed as soon as a place becomes available. <\/p>\n\n FEM Frauenberatung<\/a> (couselling for women) up to 10 consultations, cheap<\/p>\n\n MEN M\u00e4nnerberatung<\/a> (counselling for men) up to 10 consultations, cheap<\/p>\n\n M\u00e4nnerberatung Wien<\/a> staggered costs according to income<\/p>\n\n You can also be referred to specialized facilities by your family doctor.
