Iran demonstrations: support for affected students and employees
"Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the violent actions of the Iranian authorities against demonstrators", says Rector Christen Krogh. OsloMet offers support services for employees and students who need someone to talk to.
"According to reports, Iranian students are among the targets of the violent regime. We are deeply concerned about the developments in the country. Many of our students and employees with an Iranian background are struggling right now, and we want to express our support for them during this challenging time", says Krogh.
Support services for students
The university and SiO offer several support services for students who need someone to talk to.
- An overview of all available services can be found on the webpage for support services.
- OsloMet’s student chaplain Siri M. Magnusen is bound by confidentiality and is available to all students.
- The welfare organisation for students SiO specialises in student health and offers, for example, counsellors, psychologists and public health nurses (sio.no).
Support services for employees
Staff can speak with their immediate manager if needed. If you require additional support, the occupational health service also offers counselling. Contact your local HR unit to make use of this service (this webpage is in norwegian).
