How can I join the Docturne Whatsapp group?

I have issues with my supervisor and I don’t know how to handle the situation alone. Can you help me find support?

Yes! To provide information and support in difficult events is one of the key themes behind the work of the association. You can read more about how to deal with conflicts in supervision in English here and in Finnish here.

In addition, you can contact the board of Docturne via email (docturne@utu.fi) and we’ll help you, confidentially of course. And in case you feel uncomfortable sending email to the whole board, you can also send an email directly to one board member of your choice. We’ll get you the help and support you need!
