The Jagiellonian University and the University Hospital in Krakow have established a Student Support and Adaptation Center (SOWA). This initiative was created in response to the growing number of students who experience various types of psychological crises, nervous breakdowns and depression.

Polish and world statistics show that students are more likely to face emotional problems than people of a similar age who do not continue their education in higher education institutions – says Dr Med. Maciej Pilecki, head of the Clinical Department of Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry at the University Hospital in Krakow.

The center began its work on March 18, 2019. Its headquarters is Sniadecki Collegium at ul. Kopernika 27 in Krakow.
