The University of Namur's Vie de la Communauté Universitaire (VéCU) service covers a variety of areas, including financial, psychological and medical support. The Cellule sociale and Cellule Médico-Psychologique (CMP) offer financial aid, psychological consultations and specific support for students with disabilities. In collaboration with other university services, VéCU also contributes to the fight against harassment with the PHARE scheme and supports harm reduction initiatives in festive environments.
Financial and social assistance
The main mission of the Cellule sociale's social workers is to welcome, accompany, support and intervene to promote study and success conditions and contribute to the well-being of students. They offer guidance, information, financial aid, job offers and the loan of work equipment. They also offer a sympathetic ear in complete confidentiality.
Psychological help and well-being
The Cellule Médico-Psychologique (CMP) offers psychological consultations, (re)orientation and more. It provides a number of services to ensure that each student has the best possible study experience: stress management support, awareness-raising and discussion workshops on mental health-related topics, and a discussion on the importance of harm reduction in festive environments. All services are free of charge.
Students with special needs (EBS) - students with disabilities (ESH)
The Cellule Médico-Psychologique (CMP) offers a service aimed at students and future students who are experiencing long-term difficulties that may hinder their participation in teaching on an equal footing with other students.
PHARE - Protection from harassment
The University of Namur has set up the PHARE scheme as part of an overall plan to combat moral, physical or sexual harassment and assaults against students and PhD students at the university.
Harm Reduction (HR) group
