Psychological Support Point of the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice

All students/doctoral students of SUM in Katowice, those with any disabilities or those in need of emotional and psychological support are welcome to contact the Psychological Support Point.

REGULATIONS OF ACCESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT POINT

If you are a student/doctoral student of the Medical University of Silesia and you are in need of psychological assistance, you can make an appointment with psychologists who provide psychological support in one of two Psychological Support Points located on the side of the University.

Contact data and other information is available after location has been chosen – Katowice-Ligota or Zabrze-Rokitnica.
After making contact, the Psychologist decides on the appropriateness of support and schedule a meeting with you.

In case you are not able to meet with the Psychologist in person, you can arrange an online meeting.
IMPORTANT- During the first meeting (on site or online) you are obliged to show the Psychologist your valid student/doctoral student ID in order to confirm your identity and your right to free assistance.

Consultations with the Psychologist are free of charge.

WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT YOU CAN GET?

The Psychologist provides psychological support within psychological consultations.
The Psychologist decides, basing on your psychological state and problems you might have, whether one, two or more appointments are required. An appointment lasts 60 minutes.

Remember that the Psychologist provides assistance only within limited scope (within psychological support). However in case the Psychologist decides that your psychological state requires support from a psychiatrist or a group therapy – you will then receive a relevant referral. In that case you are supposed to arrange support on your own.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT POINT IN KATOWICE-LIGOTA is located at 18 Medyków Street, next to the Institute of Theory of Medicine (building D4-2), office no 106 (1st floor, in front of the auditorium A2).
