IPCO offers supportive peer-to-peer conversations to all students with an active student status at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary.
Our peer-led group sessions offer a supportive space to connect, share experiences, and learn useful skills. Each session covers topics like stress management or communication through discussions and activities. No experience needed—just an open mind!
You are offered up to 3 meetings every academic semester. Each of them may last up to 50 minutes.
You can turn to IPCO with a variety of challenges you might face during your time abroad. Whether it’s adjusting to life in a new country, balancing academic and personal responsibilities, or feeling isolated or homesick, Peer-Supporters are here to listen, offer support, and resources. If you’re having trouble building social connections or navigating cultural differences, IPCO can provide a safe space to talk things through. We can also guide you on practical matters, like understanding student life in Hungary or helping with day-to-day concerns.However, if you are struggling with longstanding mental health issues, such as psychological or psychiatric challenges that have been affecting your ability to function, we encourage you to reach out to the Counselling Center of ELTE. These situations are beyond the scope of our competency, and professional help from specialised services is important for your well-being. Whatever you’re going through, Peer-Supporters are here to help you feel heard and find the right resources for your needs.
