We are here to listen
Who are we?
DEB is a student-led organization founded in 2019 at Politecnico di Torino, dedicated to providing peer listening and mental health support. We recognize that students face unique challenges—stress, anxiety, and academic pressure—and we believe that peer support can make a real difference.
Our mission is simple: to create a safe, confidential space where students can be heard and supported by peers who understand. We operate through three pillars: Dialogue (our listening service), Explore (helping students understand themselves), and Bond (building community around mental health awareness).

Listening Service DEB
Sometimes being there is enough. The Listening Service of DEB is a reserved and free space where you can talk to a student trained in emotional listening. No judgment, no advice unless requested: just anyone who is there, truly. If you are going through a difficult time, you feel alone, or simply need to be heard, we are here for you. For students, for students.
A peer-to-peer service, run by students for students, because sometimes the best listener is someone who truly knows what university life feels like. Our Telegram bot is active on weekdays (excluding holidays) in two shifts: 6 to 8 PM and 8 to 10 PM. You can also write to us by mail anytime: we reply as soon as possible, all year round.
