Establishment of the Counseling and Psychological Support Center - Dai Nam University puts students at the center of understanding

Amidst the turbulent pace of modern life, today's students are burdened with mounting pressure from studying, future orientation, social relationships and even the "storm" of technology. Mental trauma can silently erode the will, breaking the journey of maturity. Dai Nam University (DNU) understands this, but why did the University decide to build such a well-organized Counseling and Psychological Support Center?

Why is student mental health so alarming?

The university journey is like a colorful picture, but it also contains dark tones. Academic pressure, family expectations, the complexity of relationships, and the explosion of social networks make students prone to anxiety, stress, and even depression. Statistics show that 1 in 5 students are affected by anxiety and depression. This is not only a personal problem but also a big challenge for the educational environment. DNU realizes that in order for students to truly "live well, study well", it is necessary to address these deep-seated concerns.

What is the special significance of the establishment of the DNU Counseling and Psychological Support Center?

The establishment of the DNU Counseling and Psychological Support Center is not only a quick response to reality, but also a strong and long-term commitment of Dai Nam University. This is a strategic step, affirming the philosophy of "For dedicated learners".

Listening - Healing - Empowering: As Ms. Cao Thi Hoa, Vice President of the School Board and Vice Principal shared: "A student with strong inner strength will study better, live more positively and adapt better to social changes. The Center is not only a place for consultation, but also an essential part of the School's comprehensive support ecosystem."

A trusted spiritual friend: The Center is a "spiritual friend" of students, present to help them overcome silent crises such as anxiety, emotional disorders, insomnia, identity crisis. Here, no one is alone in their crises. Every student is welcomed in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space - a commitment emphasized by Dr. Nguyen Thi Hong Phuong, Director of the Center.

A team of reputable experts - people who understand and heal the souls of DNU students

To ensure effectiveness and reliability, DNU has invested in building a team of excellent psychological experts at the Center. Our consultants are not only well-trained from advanced educational systems around the world, but also have practical experience, professionalism and a special understanding of age psychology. They are people who are advised by leading experts in the field of psychology, capable of handling complex situations, even intervening in therapy when necessary. We believe that, with their dedication and high qualifications, the Center's team of experts will be a solid foundation, helping students not only relieve stress but also heal their wounds, towards comprehensive development.

How has DNU created a special "spiritual fulcrum"?

The center is designed with 3 core functional pillars to ensure comprehensive and professional support:

1. In-depth consultation: Providing individual and group consultation services, applying specialized tools such as tests and psychological scales, helping students solve learning, emotional, behavioral, or relationship problems.

2. Accompanying teachers: Organizing activities to support teachers mentally and prevent occupational stress. Because only healthy teachers can inspire and accompany students best.

3. Raising community awareness: Regularly organize workshops, seminars, podcasts on life skills, emotional management, and community connection. The goal is to spread understanding and positive attitudes about mental health, creating a strong student community.

Why is DNU Psychology Center created with a "beautiful, luxurious and quiet" space?

Space is not just a physical thing, but also an important factor in building trust and psychological safety. DNU understands that in order for students to truly open up and share their deepest feelings, they need an environment that:

- Safety and security: A quiet, private space helps students feel protected and free from judgment.

- Aesthetic and relaxing: Beautiful, luxurious but still cozy design helps reduce stress, creating a feeling of being cared for and looked after.

- Inspiration: Friendly, intimate but still professional space affirms the seriousness and class of support services.

The investment in space is a testament to DNU's commitment to making mental health care not just a responsibility, but a priority.

Creating a complete human being – From knowledge to emotion

The opening of the Center is a clear demonstration of the educational philosophy "For the dedicated learner" that Dai Nam University steadfastly pursues. Not only imparting knowledge, the University also focuses on nurturing mental health and developing personality - the foundation for students to achieve sustainable success in modern society.

"Education is not just about teaching knowledge. We choose to listen - to understand the learners - before accompanying and guiding them to maturity" Ms. Cao Thi Hoa reaffirmed this commitment.

DNU believes that a student who is mentally strong, confident and determined will be able to overcome all challenges, achieve success and contribute value to the community.
