The University of Potsdam does not leave you alone!
Various contact and advice centres are available to help you with a range of topics. Some of the contact and advice centres provide advice on conflicts in general, while others specialise in specific topics or discrimination issues. Do not hesitate to contact one of these centres. Together, we will clarify confidentially who at the UP can best advise you on your concerns. Discrimination, harassment, bullying or stalking must not be a taboo subject at the University of Potsdam!

Conflicts and Worries
You have the opportunity to talk about your problem in a calm and friendly atmosphere and to reflect on the stressful situation together with the counsellor and develop possible solutions. In addition, the confidants can provide information for further steps and, if necessary, refer you to other counselling services. The aim is to provide an internal university body that can be consulted at a low threshold.
