Notice
The Psychological Support Service at the Forlì Campus will be suspended for the entire month of August 2025.
Who it is for
The Psychological Support Service (SAP) is available to students enrolled at the University of Bologna. It offers free psychological counselling and support for emotional, relational, and adjustment-related difficulties connected to university life.
What the service offers
Students can access a series of psychological counselling sessions aimed at exploring the reasons behind their request. Based on the outcome of these sessions, students may be offered a short-term therapeutic pathway, either individual or group-based.
Please note: cases requiring psychiatric care or related to substance use disorders are not taken on by the service.
In case of urgent need or emergencies, students must contact the Emergency Room, their GP, or the relevant Mental Health Centres (CSMs) of the local health authority (AUSL).

About the Psychological Support Service
The Psychological Support Service (SAP) is the continuation of one of the most well-established clinical initiatives of the former Institute of Psychology within the Faculty of Medicine in Bologna. Active since 1985 and now based at the Renzo Canestrari Department of Psychology of the University of Bologna, it is currently a University-wide service.
In the past, it operated in partnership with the Bologna Municipal Authority for the Right to University Study, the Bologna AUSL, and the Romagna AUSL.
It is now funded by the Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna.
