Student Life and Well-being

Our Mission

At University of Juba, our Well-being program aims to promote holistic health — mental, physical, emotional, and social — for all students. We are committed to providing supportive resources and a nurturing environment so that every student can thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

What We Offer

• Counseling & Mental Health Services: Confidential counseling for students dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, homesickness, or any mental health concern. One-on-one sessions, support groups, and referrals to external providers as needed.
• Health & Medical Services: Basic medical care, first aid, wellness check-ups, and health education (e.g., nutrition, sexual health, hygiene). Includes a campus clinic or partnerships with local health clinics or hospitals.
• Wellness & Fitness Programs: Physical wellness initiatives such as fitness classes (yoga, aerobics), walking/running clubs, and recreation facilities. Workshops on healthy lifestyles, diet, sleep hygiene, and stress management.
• Peer Support & Mentoring: Trained peer mentors for student conversations, peer-led groups for shared experiences, and well-being circles.
• Crisis Support & Safety Nets: Emergency hotlines, 24/7 on-call mental health support (if available), and coordination with health and safety services.
• Workshops, Events & Awareness Campaigns: Mental health weeks, anti-stress programs, mindfulness sessions, seminars on managing exam pressures, healthy relationships, and substance abuse awareness.
