Questionnaire – psychological assistance for university employees

The research is conducted by The Forum of Technical Universities in conjunction with University authorities. Its main objective is to examine how helpful support and psychological assistance prove to be for students, university employees. Another goal is to plan further supportive activities. We do not require any information which could be used to identify a particular person. The resulting report will only contain aggregated data. All the replies to questions are voluntary. Filling in the questionnaire takes approximately 15 minutes. We expect respondents to be sincere when answering questions, the results may prove to be very helpful! Please consider the current situation of students and availability of psychological support since the Covid pandemic.
