When the counseling department at the Goethe University in Frankfurt had their funds drastically reduced, there had to be a solution to help out the students that had a hard time at Uni.
The students came together and introduced the, “Nightline”, that offers counselling and sometimes just a simple ear to students who might need someone to talk to.
The Nightline is available in 17 Universities; 16 German Universities and 1 Swiss University. The services offered are free of charge and those that volunteer at the Nightlines remain anonymous.
