Professor Lies Korevaar<\/strong>
‘Nothing about them, without them…’ is a sentence frequently heard from Lies Korevaar, Professor of Rehabilitation at Hanze UAS’s School of Social Studies. This sentiment perfectly characterises a man who tirelessly works with students with mental health problems to help resolve any issues that they may have. Lies Korevaar graduated from the University of Amsterdam in the field of psychology. He obtained his PhD from the University of Groningen and was appointed Professor of Rehabilitation at Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen in 2003.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob\nVerhofstad, Executive Board member: ‘We are very proud that Lies has been voted\nProfessor of the Year. During his years in academia, he has developed countless\ntools and courses to support students. Everything that he has developed is\nimmediately applicable in practice and has made a substantial contribution to society.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michele\nGarnier, Dean of the School of Social Studies: ‘The research and innovation\ncentre of Lies plays a central and essential role in our core function: to\neducate and train social professionals and applied psychologists. Thanks to\nLies, a substantial number of students are able to remain their student role\ndespite the fact that they have mental health problems.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student well-being<\/strong>
Nearly 40,000 students in the Netherlands have mental health problems Over half of these students say that it seriously hinders their studies, forcing them to work longer hours for lower grades and fewer credits. Offering all of these students a degree programme that suits their diverse needs is a mammoth task.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Centre\nfor Rehabilitation at the Hanze university of applied sciences plays a vital\nrole in tackling this issue: developing new knowledge, acquiring external\nknowledge and transferring it into educational programmes. The importance of the\nissue is so great that the Dutch National Students’ Association (DNSA) and the ScienceGuide\njournal made Student Well-being the central theme of the Professor of the Year\nAward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples <\/strong>
The following are just a few examples of why Lies has been voted Professor of the Year:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022           Study choice – Many students with\nmental health problems find it difficult to select a suitable degree programme.\nKorevaar\u2019 s Centre for Rehabilitation offers useful tools such as courses to support students with mental health problems in making a well\ninformed decision about their further education? In the end,\n62% of the students who take this course go on to make a successful and\nwell-considered study choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022           To tell or not to tell – A\nfrequent dilemma that young people with mental health problems encounter is\nwhether or not to tell others about these problems at school, mental health and\neducational professionals often do not know how to support students facing this\ndilemma. For this purpose, the Centre for Rehabilitation  developed the disclosure instrument entitled \u2018To\ntell or not to tell\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022           Student Peer Support – Many students\nthink that they are the only ones having mental health problems influencing their\nstudy. The Centre for Rehabilitation has offered a Peer Support group since\n2007, in which students support each other by sharing experiences, exchanging\ntips regarding studying with mental health problems and lending others an ear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
