Supervision offers

The Hessian Higher Education Act (§17) stipulates that student advisors should receive supervisory support in identifying and dealing with special needs (click for more details). 

Supervision sessions can be used to discuss challenges in advising and supporting students. Topics may include:

  • Advising cases that are distressing, overwhelming, or concerning
  • Use of professional and personal resources for advising
  • Clarifying competencies and limitations
  • Discussing personal issues that affect counseling

Beginning in January 2025, you will be able to participate in regular supervision groups that meet four times a year for an open exchange. Additional groups (also for teams) are possible upon request.

Group supervision from January 2025:

  • on Tuesdays, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Campus Westend
  • on Thursdays, 09:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m., Campus Westend

Academic Success through Dialogue

As part of the project "Academic Success through Dialogue II," PBS is responsible for the further training and professionalization of student advisors and the counseling of mentally stressed students. This professionalization includes regular group supervision as well as individual phone supervision, which can be used to clarify acute concerns and refer students to PBS.

In addition, the student advisors are trained in a series of continuing education courses (e.g., difficult counseling situations, psychological crises, motivational interviewing, role conflicts). The training series is accredited by the Gesellschaft für Beratung und Therapie (GIBeT) as part of the student advisor profile.
