This is an experience report that aims to present a psychological support service developed at the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing to assist undergraduate nursing students. The service was opened in the first half of 2019 and offers psychological interventions in individual and group modalities. The activities are coordinated by a professor and developed by graduate students with a background in Psychology. In 2019, 51 students were served. It is known that the trajectory of students in higher education is marked by changes in affective, social and professional spheres, requiring adjustments that are not always answered properly. In this way, the services provided so far have enabled psychological reception and qualified listening in interventions that seek to assist in mental health and quality of life. Initiatives like this contribute to prevention of mental illness and to improvement of emotional conditions of students who are already experiencing psychopathological symptoms.
