Caring for relatives

When close relatives become in need of care, this often comes unprepared. With the high emotional burden comes many new tasks. Carers don't know when to call it a day, vacations can't be used for relaxation, there is no time for personal friendships and activities and sometimes the understanding of outsiders decreases. Care and support often have to be organized in a very short space of time. Many carers are also working full-time or studying and are unsure how much understanding their superiors or teachers will have for their private situation.

In this difficult situation, our care pilot is your first point of contact on campus for questions about caring for relatives. How can members of the university reconcile care and work/studies? Where can I find advice and contact points on campus? Who are the contact persons inside and outside the university? Your questions will be structured together with our care pilot and the next steps will be discussed with the family members providing care.

Our care guide does not offer care advice, but information that will give you, the person seeking advice, guidance for the first steps. Discussions are treated in strict confidence.

You are welcome to arrange a personal appointment.
