Last week we continued our journey to prevent stress and burn-outs. Together with Student Alliance Wageningen and Happiness4all we had a fruitful conversation about how we can reach out to and support students coping with stress and burn-out symptoms. We shared great ideas and are going to figure out how we can further build upon them.

Stress, depression and burn-out symptoms among students is dramatically increasing. Pressure to perform, student debts or finding housing all contribute to this trend. Stress is also the #1 health problem among employees. Together with Startpunt Wageningen who provides social advice and services and Student Alliance Wageningen who commits to student issues we talked about how we can make stress, depression and burn-outs more acceptable to talk about and which actions we can take to address the growing issue.
