The PhD Student Support Group was set up in response to the need to provide a space for these students, who are often isolated by the conditions of their work, to share and interact.

With the support and moderation of the GOI’s psychologists, the sessions provide a safe and regular space for sharing and discussing common difficulties and obstacles, as well as joint search for potential solutions to deal with and overcome these adversities.

The 1^st and 2^nd year Students Support Group aims to promote integration and well-being in the academic community for students at the start of their studies, facilitating the development of tools and resources to face the challenges of entering and adapting to college.

The sessions, led by GOI’s psychologists, are spaces to share difficulties and involving the group in the search to build coping strategies to overcome the difficulties and obstacles encountered, be they personal, social or academic.
