Wellbeing

ODIOM considers the well-being of students to be very important. You can find more information about this on this page.

ODIOM has two confidential counselors on the board: Lieke and Joost. They are there for you if you have something on your mind, want to talk about something, want to vent, or just need a listening ear. There is also a confidential counselor from the Inclusion Structure: Sanne Ligthart. Furthermore, there is a confidential counselor from the Advisory Board: Rosa van Kempen, who you can contact for board matters. Finally, there is also a confidential counselor from outside the association. Everything you discuss with a confidential counselor is completely confidential, and this information will not be shared with anyone.
