FSHS's summer opening hours 2025

We will serve students throughout the summer. The assessment of the need for treatment and our digital services will serve you on weekdays according to normal opening hours.  Local services will also be well available. Possible exceptions in local services have been listed on our website.

The FSHS offers mental health services in accordance with the new therapy guarantee requirements to higher education students aged under 23

A therapy guarantee, intended to ensure speedy access to mental health services within primary care for those under 23, has started on 1 May 2025. The new requirements also apply to services provided by the FSHS. 

The goal of the therapy guarantee is to ensure early low-threshold help for mental health problems. For young people aged under 23, brief psychotherapy and psychological interaction-based psychosocial therapy within primary care must start within 28 days after need for treatment was assessed.

An online service form for STD testing

Remote STD testing is no longer offered by the FSHS. In order to be tested, students need to complete a symptom assessment on the form provided in Self or call the FSHS’s assessment of the need for treatment team. A healthcare professional will then assess the situation and decide which examinations are needed, and will contact the student to refer them for testing.

Having a professional perform this assessment means that each student’s need for testing will be thoroughly evaluated.
