The University Wellbeing Centre seeks to provide professional and holistic services to enhance the personal growth and development of the students.

The professional counselling services are set up to support students in exploring their emotional or personal issues that may hinder them from maximising their potentials, both in academic pursuits as well as their personal lives. Their services are offered at no cost to the students.

The centre also conducts and organises talks and workshops for our students and staff.

SIT offers professional counselling services to its student community. It is free and confidential.

In line with the University’s endeavour to promote mental health and wellbeing among the student community, the Wellbeing Services was set up to meet the emotional and psychological needs of the students.

The Wellbeing Services provide the following services to the SUTD community:

• Professional counselling service at no charge for students who are currently enrolled at SUTD
• Consultation to the SUTD community, and the next-of-kin of students who may have concerns over a student’s behaviour;
• Self-help psycho-educational resources for students
• Talks, workshops and training for the University community to promote the development of personal growth, life skills and mental health and wellbeing
• Support to critical incidents involving students who may need immediate psychological or medical care.

At the University Counselling Services (UCS), the counsellors offer students short-term individual counselling. During the first session, the students and their counsellors will determine the students’ needs and collectively decide a treatment plan to work towards.

The number of counselling sessions required varies. Sometimes, concerns are managed within a session or two while others may require further appointments. If long-term or specialised care is required, the counsellors will assist students with the appropriate referrals. Counselling services and programmes are free to all students.

Students facing psychological emergencies can walk in during office hours for a same-day appointment. UCS also provides a 24-hour hotline if students are facing life-threatening psychological emergencies. This hotline is managed by counsellors and is available by dialling 6516 7777.

The Mrs Wong Kwok Leong Student Wellness Centre puts students in touch with professionals offering counselling and other support services and programmes that promote intellectual and emotional wellbeing.
