Mental Health Counselling Service
Good health is about physical, mental and social well-being.
Studying at a university is a delicate phase in any young person's life. It often involves a completely new environment and profoundly different studying requirements than what many students experienced in high school. Students have different relations with professors and their peers. And all of this often leads to new hardships and often innocuous habits can turn into dangerous psychological and physical habits. The purpose of this section is to provide students with useful tools for recognising a state of distress or dependency and to offer the support needed to embark on the pathway out of such conditions.
Do you not feel at ease with yourself or around others? Do you have emotional or motivational difficulties?
If you wish, you can contact one of our Psychological Counselling Centres or attend "Noi bene" (Italian)
Identity, gender, affirmation: clinical and research service
IGA – Identity, Gender and Affirmation is a specialised psychological and medical support and counselling service for Transgender and Gender Diverse (TGD) people. The Clinical Service is for all people whose gender identity does not match their sex assigned at birth, non-binary people and those questioning their gender identity.
NoiBene programme
NoiBene is a psychological intervention programme dedicated to all Sapienza students to prevent psychological distress through mental health literacy, the promotion of positive, flexible behaviour and the enhancement of life skills.

Are you a Regione Lazio Resident?
If you are a resident in the Regione Lazio, you can access all health services provided by the Regional Health System in public and accredited health facilities throughout the region.

Are you an off-campus student?
Off-campus students with a permanent address (“residenza”) in a different region, can access the Lazio regional Healthcare service by making a request for healthcare domicile through a fixed-term registration (generally 1 year, renewable) on the NHS lists of their local ASL (health office).This procedure allows our student to have access to all public and accredited health facilities and to choose a trusted GP in Regione Lazio.

They need to go to their local ASL, present their University enrolment certificate and fill out specific forms.
