Aalto Helping Hand

Aalto Helping Hand Helping Hands a peer-led student support project specifically for Aalto Arts students. If in doubt, dare to ask first. 3.) Take care of your own wellbeing first.

This Spring 2022 Helping Hand will meet both virtually each Tuesday evening and in-person on Thursdays. To ensure that our open sessions are inclusive and accessible to all ARTS students, we apply a 'Virtual Safer Space Guideline' that we kindly ask everyone to follow when joining our meetings:1.) No discriminative language or behaviour (based on one’s gender identity, age, appearance, language, cultural background, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief system, state of health, functional ability, sexual orientation) is allowed. Improper behaviour will be addressed and may result in removal from the meeting.2.) Refrain from making assumptions on other participants’ identities, backgrounds, states, experiences, beliefs etc. Respect other participants’ emotional boundaries and be mindful of the effects your words and actions can have (regardless of your intent).4.) If you need a break or prefer to leave the meeting, please feel free to do so at any point.5.) If you prefer to discuss something one-on-one with the facilitator or any of the participants, ask for a private meeting in person or in our virtual meetings - a breakout room directly or in the chat box (as a personal message). 6.) If you wish to share experiences whose details may be triggering to others, please begin with a trigger warning. 7.) Know that making mistakes is human, and therefore unavoidable. Let’s aim to guide each other, discuss and be open to others’ perspectives.8.) If you feel unsafe or experience/witness any violations, please let the facilitator know either at the meeting (by speaking up or sending a personal message via the chat box) or afterwards. Please find our contact details on this page.

Hey there! We understand Thesis can be confusing sometimes and we all may need some encouragement, some nourishment. We are starting with a Thesis Support Group this Thursday-a safe place to bring out and share ideas, or clear up any sort of blockages by sharing. The intention is to provide a community to support each other and engage ourselves in a resonating energy. We notice that people get inspired by people, and we are creating a window to look into each other’s window and get inspired.

🌨❄️📣***SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT***📣❄️🌨
For the month of December Helping Hand will continue to meet in-person on Thursday evenings but we feel the overloading of Zoom for students might mean that in-person meetings would be more beneficial and so we will not commence with Tuesday Zoom meetings in December. We can still be reached for virtual meetings if this avenue suits you better. You are very welcome to book a 1-to-1 virtual meeting with us. Times can be arranged via email or through messaging us on our social media.

As snow falls and winter sets in we want you to know we are here to listen to what might be on your mind; to share information or to find points of connection during the cold of winter. Come and join us on wintery walks, chats or booked appointments
