Hello and welcome to the IPLeiria’s Student Support Service (SSS)
Since the academic year of 2007-08, the Student Support Service has been developing its activity in the four Campi of the IPLeiria, and its main objective lies on three major areas: psychological and vocational support, personal and social guidance and supervision and psychopedagogical support.
These intervention areas result from the main practical implications taken from a research that incorporated about 1000 students in their first year at the IPLeiria. This research had the objective to evaluate the connection between the social support networks and the adaptation of the young student to Higher Education.
Regarding the support and vocational guidance, the students are offered the possibility of attending a free individual psychology session with a specialist. The team has 3 psychologists prepared to address all the students questions about their future.

With the counselling and psychological support activities we intend to help the students to create alternate responses to multifaceted problems of personal and/or academic nature, by optimising different resources of personal, emotional, behavioural and social sources, in order to maximise their perception of wellbeing.

On the subject of personal and social guidance and supervision, the SSS has been promoting the development of activities for fresher students, facilitating their integration and adaptation to the institution and cities, and to students with special needs, namely with the development of leaflets addressing several themes related to this subject.
Concerning Homesickness, we developed an informational leaflet with some important tips on how to cope with the distance from home and from family. These feelings of homesickness, characterized by some anxiety and light depressive symptoms, are usually called in portuguese Saudades.
