Mental Health Counseling

In today’s fast-paced world, mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and stress have become increasingly prevalent. To address these issues, Lac Hong University (LHU) offers a supportive initiative through its Psychological Counseling Team, empowering students and staff to take charge of their mental well-being.

A Tool for Self-Assessment

As part of its mental health program, LHU provides access to the DASS 21 Test, a reliable self-assessment tool for evaluating levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. This test helps individuals gain insights into their mental health, encouraging them to seek timely support when needed.

While the DASS 21 results are intended for reference only and should not replace professional medical diagnoses, they serve as a valuable first step in raising awareness about mental health issues.

A Listening Ear and a Helping Hand

The university’s Psychological Counseling Team plays a crucial role in fostering a culture of empathy and understanding. By offering personalized guidance, the team ensures that individuals feel heard and supported in their journey toward improved mental health.

"Let us listen and support you," the team emphasizes, underlining their commitment to building a nurturing and inclusive environment.

Linking to the SDGs

LHU’s mental health initiatives align closely with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:

• SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being – Promoting mental health awareness and providing access to counseling services contribute to holistic health and improved quality of life.

• SDG 4: Quality Education – Ensuring a supportive mental health framework enhances students’ ability to focus, learn, and succeed academically.

• SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities – Mental health support fosters inclusivity, ensuring that individuals from diverse backgrounds receive equitable access to resources and care.

• LHU’s Broader Impact

  By integrating mental health awareness into its institutional framework, LHU contributes significantly to sustainable development. These initiatives not only benefit students and staff within the university but also set a precedent for other educational institutions to follow.

  Through its efforts, LHU equips students with the knowledge and skills to advocate for mental health awareness in their communities, amplifying its impact on a broader scale.

• Mental health is a cornerstone of overall well-being and sustainable development. By offering tools like the DASS 21 Test and professional counseling services, LHU underscores the importance of mental health in building resilient and thriving communities.
