Student Psychological Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides mental health assistance to help students manage their wellbeing during their studies. It is designed to offer a way for students to find support when facing the pressures of university life.

👤Who it's for

This service is specifically designated for students who are currently enrolled at the university. To qualify, you must have an active student status with the institution to access these university-issued counseling resources.

🎁What you get

The primary benefit of this scheme is access to free, short-term counseling. These sessions are intended to provide immediate or temporary support for mental health needs, helping you manage the various complexities that can arise while navigating higher education. Because the service is short-term, it is designed to help you stabilize or find a way forward through specific challenges.

💰What it costs you

There is no monetary fee for these counseling sessions. However, there is a time commitment involved in the administrative side of things; you will need to log in to your student portal to manage your appointments and navigate the booking system to secure a time slot.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to keep in mind is that because this is a university-provided resource, waiting lists can be long. If you are in a situation where you require immediate or more intensive support, you should not rely solely on this scheme. It is wise to check for external mental health options or private providers to ensure you have multiple avenues for support if the university's schedule is full.

2. Search for the psychological support or counseling section within the portal.
