I was wondering...
A simple question can lead to hard answers. We understand that times can be difficult for students. We also want to let you know that you are not alone!
If something has happened to you, need somebody to talk to or you are feeling down, you can reach out to our confidential advisors Valérie or Sanjeev or any representative of the board.
For a phone number, check the WhatsApp group chat or talk to Valérie at training.
Hii, my name is Valérie and I am the confidential advisor for this year!! I am in my second year of MSP with a focus on human biology. I’ve been playing badminton on-and-off for around 8 years but it wasn’t until last year - when I joined HEEP- that I really committed to it :) HEEP holds a special place in my heart; it’s the place where I met my closest friends and my ‘mortal enemies’ on court that I’ve yet to beat.
As your confidential advisor, I am here to support anyone who has experienced something they wish to talk about - whether it happened during practice, an activity, or in private life. I will listen carefully and, together, we will explore different solutions or ways forward. You are free to reach out anytime if you want to talk about something, manage a situation or simply to have someone to talk to. I understand that some matters may feel difficult, sensitive, or intimidating to address, but it is a guarantee that everything you say will remain completely confidential. I hope to help you in the best way I can, so that everyone feels safe, heard, and able to fully enjoy their time at HEEP! You can come up anytime during practice or contact me via messages.
Looking forward to seeing you on court (and at the bar)!!
Hey everyone! I’m Sanjeev, a 3rd-year International Business student at SBE. My family’s Indian, but I’ve lived my whole life in Bonn, Germany, and went to an international school there. In my free time, I like hanging out with friends, playing video games, and just relaxing.
This year, I’m also one of the Confidential Advisors, so if you ever need someone to talk to—whether it’s about uni stuff, personal things, or just to vent—I’m always happy to listen. Don’t hesitate to reach out anytime :)
For a phone number, check the WhatsApp group chat or talk to Sanjeev at training.
Would you rather be more comfortable with reaching out to somebody outside of HEEP? We completely understand! To help you get the support you need UM has created this descision tree, see below.
