The tragic events in Kraków may trigger difficult emotions - fear, sadness, anxiety, anger or a sense of helplessness. These are natural reactions to situations that undermine our sense of security. Anyone who needs support can seek help from the University of Gdańsk’s Academic Psychological Support Centre.

We all experience difficult events differently. It is worth allowing yourself space to process your emotions, talking to loved ones and being mindful of others’ needs. Let us remember that we do not have to cope with difficult experiences on our own.

If you feel you need support, do not hesitate to reach out.

For those feeling anxious following the tragic events in Kraków, the University of Gdańsk Academic Psychological Support Centre has introduced additional consultation hours.
