Hello! Great to have you here!

enhance is a support offering to promote students’ mental health and is being carried out as part of a University of Leipzig study, which was funded by the Saxon State Ministry for Science, Culture and Tourism and, since 1 August 2024, has also been co‑financed with tax revenues under the budget approved by the Saxon State Parliament.
Here are the online offerings we provide for mental health issues and stress in your everyday student life:
Mental-Health-App
Chat counseling
Video counseling
E-Mail counseling
All support options are provided by psychologists and are anonymous and free to use.
If you’re interested in any of these services, you can register here and give your consent to participate in the study.
We look forward to having you!

Why is this important?

Most mental illnesses start before the age of 24. In particular, students are at increased risk of developing mental health problems and disorders. We want to make it easier for all students to access help when they need it.
