Recently, the study was officially presented at a workshop attended by numerous representatives of the counselling community. In response to the presentation of the study, there were demands for better legislative anchoring of counselling, which is still rather vague. The counselling community would also like to see a clearer definition of its funding – e.g. the inclusion of funding for counselling in the contribution of higher education institutions. Another issue is also the setting up of counselling for academic staff – in particular the payment of counselling by the institution, which often requires it from the counselling centre without significantly reflecting this activity in their funding. An important challenge for the future will also be the increasing professionalization of counselling centres and the setting of a professional competence framework for counsellors. The first steps in this direction will undoubtedly be taken by the currently approved CRP-project of a consortium of 19 higher education institutions, which focuses on the long-term development of counselling activities. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this activity does not fall by the wayside and is instead the proverbial first swallow that frames the increased interest in the field of counselling on the part of Higher education institutions schools and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports.
