The mental distress of students is increasing, one in four is contemplating suicide
The student years are a time when young people should socialize, look for a partner and get away from home. All this was cut short by the epidemic. Results NIJZ studies are appalling, a real psychologist Tomaž Vec.
“One in four students is contemplating suicide. This is a fact that should make the state jump up and do something, “warns Vec.
There is more and more mental distress, confirms the president of the Youth Council of Slovenia (MSS) Miha Zupančič.
“There is a lot of talk about various mental distresses, about fear, despair, depression, anxiety. These are the consequences that students report on a daily basis and we have already detected them, “says Zupančič.
Students who work are especially vulnerable because they are so financially dependent on what starts. Jobs are extremely precarious for them at the time of the country’s closure. Many had to drop out of school and return home.
The consequences will be long-term. What will be the proportion of students who will repeat themselves, what will be the average age at the first employment and what will be the age of the mother at the birth of the first child, young people are wondering.
“I think the consequences of the covida-19 epidemic will still be present as we can see at the moment, “said the president of the youth council.
When young people recognize mental health problems, the most appropriate help. This is very important, despite prejudices. “Slovenians still have prejudices against therapy and counseling. It seems to us that this is for some fools, “Emphasizes Vec.
Today, a new problem is emerging – poor access to professional help, too long waiting times and overburdened mental health centers for young people.
Dissatisfied residents of Ljubljana student dormitories
Residents of student dormitories in Ljubljana are increasingly dissatisfied. About ten of them remained in the student space even during the covida-19 epidemic. The management of Ljubljana’s student dormitories is accused, among other things, of a lack of dialogue, disregard for comments and invasion of privacy.
As reported by TV Slovenia, the student council of residents conducted a survey among the users of student dormitories and 90 among them if their rights are not appropriate. At the same time, they will fear that some measures will remain after the end of the epidemic. For example, security guards now also perform a reception service. Previously, this work was done by students, who also earned it for paying rent.
“At one point, the dormitories were ghost towns. We needed protection to prevent burglary and abuse. The goal is to reach a solution for the reception service and student protection by the end of the closure, and it will be harmonized with the legislation and the wishes of the students., “he said Igor Brlek from the Student Affairs Department of the Student Dormitories Ljubljana (ŠDL).
However, students now intend to use all the legal means available to them. By doing so, they will exercise their rights as home payers. If their wishes are not met, as they say in the civil initiative We are ŠDL, which was created with the aim of improving housing sizes, which will put pressure on the ŠDL.
