Support and mental health

In case you wish to discuss about issues relative to your working environment, the Dean of the Faculty (Vetsuisse Bern) can be contacted directly. Confidentiality will be garanteed.

For specific issues related to Specialisation programmes (EBVS-residency, FVH), you can contact the Chairperson of the Specialisation Commission (SpezKo). Some information and documents can be found on the ILIAS repository of the SpezKo (Campus Account required).

If you wish to contact supporting institutions outside from the Vetsuisse Faculty, you can find services from the Intermediate Staff Association of the university of Bern (MVUB). You will need to register as a member of the Association (free of charge) to be granted access to most services (Conflict, Career support, Legal advice, Mobility...). in most cases, the contact with MVUB will help you to find the adequate professional institutions relevant to your issue.

If you wish to receive support for mental health, the Universities of Bern Counselling is offering a first step under confidentiality with professional psychological help, as well as other services.
