Confidential Contact Persons

What is a Confidential Contact Person and what can you expect from us?

We want you to feel as safe as can be, so we want to offer you multiple confidential contact persons to choose from, in and outside the board. We would like to explain to you what being a confidential contact person means, such that you can know what to expect. We are here to have a talk if you struggle with stress or have something else on your mind that you would like to share. As we are not confidential people but confidential contact persons, we will never share anything that you mention with any other party, but specifically will also never take action for you! We are here to offer a listening ear and refer you to the right person if this is needed. This could be for example the educational coordinator, but also the university psychologist. We can recommend or urge you to take action yourself, but after our talk this will be completely your own choice and responsibility.

Get to know us!

Disclaimer: We are not professional psychologists and are not able to help you in case of severe mental issues. However, we are able to guide you to the right persons who can help you and are more than willing to do so!

Rebecca Beijk

Hii, my name is Rebecca and I am in my third year of my bachelor's. Right now I am the secretary of our beautiful association. Even though I am part of the board, our conversations will always stay between us.
Besides my duties as boardie, I enjoy chilling with my friends, playing football, windsurfing, reading, or just hanging on the couch. I hope to always be there for my friends when they need me, just to listen or to try and give advice. My friends would describe me as an open, understanding, and honest person.
If you ever feel like you need to talk to someone, you can always call or send me a text to get some tea together or take a stroll in the Warande woods, or anywhere you'd like :)

Jeroen van der Wielen

Hey hey, I am Jeroen van der Wielen, and I was the Vice-Chairman of Asset | Econometrics for the year 2024. I am originally from Duiven, a town near Arnhem. I sometimes go back to my hometown to work or to meet up with old friends and have a drink together. As a person, I think that it is important that everyone should feel happy and welcome in every place. When a person, usually one of my friends, doesn't feel mentally well or has some problems, I am always there for them to help them with their problems. In my spare time, I like to read books related to self-development and my studies. I am always eager to hear your story and it will always be safe with me. Feel free and do not hesitate to reach out to me if you want!
