Student Wellness

The Office of Student Life provides students with multiple platforms to build positive relationships and develop new skills to increase their depth of self-awareness, self-management, and relationship management. To encourage an inclusive and sustainable culture of well-being on campus, the Office takes a holistic approach by engaging the SUSS community – students and staff.

Using the ACE Framework and working together with our students and partners, our programmes aim to:

  • Raise Awareness of the importance of social, emotional, physical, and mental health
  • Provide Companionship or peer support systems for our students throughout the different stages of their university journeys
  • Empower them to practise well-being skills and spearhead wellness initiative
