I. Mental health support for students

Mental health is one of the key factors influencing students’ learning and research performance. Recognizing its importance, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has issued the Procedure for Student Psychological Support and Counselling, establishing a legal and standardized framework for mental health services within the institution. At UEH, the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) is responsible for providing holistic support services, including healthcare, student welfare, information assistance, and other essential services to ensure students feel safe, confident, and supported throughout their academic journey.

When facing health concerns—particularly mental health issues—students can register for free counselling sessions either online or directly at the DSA office. UEH guarantees free access to psychological counselling services for all students and maintains a network of professional partnerships for referrals to specialized mental health care when necessary. All personal information and cases are treated with strict confidentiality and security. After each session, students are invited to complete a feedback survey to evaluate counselling quality and suggest improvements to the system, ensuring professional access, early detection, and timely intervention of psychological issues.

In 2024, DSA implemented a comprehensive Student Mental Health Activity Plan, organizing at least 3 to 4 major activities and 12 regular sessions in areas such as art and foreign languages to create a relaxing and inclusive learning environment (Refer to the Implementation Plan for Activities of the UEH English Zone in 2024 for details). Additionally, 11 workshops and talkshows on mental health were held, providing knowledge and practical exercises that help students recognize and manage stress and academic pressure. 09 articles on mental health care were also disseminated across official university channels. During 2024, DSA provided nearly 40 psychological counselling sessions, including:

+ 30 cases involving academic difficulties, career orientation stress, or transfer concerns;

+ 4 cases requiring psychological support due to dismissal or disciplinary risks;

+ 1 case concerning social integration and isolation (with parental co-counselling);

+ 4 severe cases related to stress, anxiety disorders, emotional conflicts, or other serious psychological symptoms.

Furthermore, DSA has maintained professional collaboration with trusted psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health institutions, both domestically and internationally. These partnerships ensure professional quality and facilitate referrals for students requiring advanced interventions.

In parallel, the UEH Student Union requires each faculty-level student association to organize one or two mental health care programs annually. To further strengthen mental well-being, DSA collaborates with the Student Support Volunteer Team under the UEH Student Union and other units to host open, free-of-charge workshops on mental health and psychology. These programs enable students to acquire scientific knowledge, enhance mental resilience, and connect with specialized support services when necessary.
