Wellbeing and support
At the Center for European Studies (CES) we want to help provide tools that promote a healthy and happy student life and support you when challenges arise. Below you will find an overview of resources and initiatives that are available at Maastricht University (UM).
CES Wellbeing Officer
Laura Marley is CES' in-house counsellor. She is available for all CES students. Drop by room C0.07 at CES or make an appointment to talk and walk through all the resources and options. The aim is to provide support which is easily accessible, with an open and friendly approach, dedicated to helping you thrive at UM.
UM psychologists
You can contact the UM psychologists or register for an online QPR meeting in which you can discuss your current situation, ask questions and plan in next steps.

@ease
Something on your mind? Talking about it helps. At @ease you can simply walk in or chat online: anonymously, without an appointment and for free. Focused on young people to 25 years old.
The InnBetween
Students who are looking for personal support or a listening ear can also come to the student pastorate: The InnBetween. Everybody is welcome regardless of their faith or background.
Disability Support
If you are a (prospective) UM student with a disability or chronic illness, such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism or Crohn's disease, you can request the support and facilities that are necessary to accommodate your individual needs.
Understanding Dutch Healthcare
The Dutch healthcare system may be organised differently from the one you are used to in your home country. In case you need medical assistance or healthcare support, its important to understand the system to be well taken care of.
We are here for you
In line with the UM values of providing a healthy and safe environment, with personal development, support, diversity and inclusion, sustainability, mutual respect and integrity at its core, we want you to know that CES and the student guidance network across Maastricht University are here for you.
