Groups and lectures
Throughout the academic year, the Student Health Service offers lectures, themed seminars, groups, and workshops for students. We have events in Uppsala, in Visby, and digitally. We also contribute to the digital events, films, and texts that are available on the national portal Studenthälsa.se, which is for all students at Swedish universities.
Uppsala
Come out with the Student Health Service
Come out with Student Health Service is aimed at those who want to strengthen their mental health through the healing power of nature. It is a low-pressure and accessible activity where you can spend a couple of hours with leaders from Student Health out in the woods, grilling and chilling out together in a small group of students. You can sign up for each occasion by contacting Jens Lindquist at jens.lindquist@uu.se.
