On September 10, 2025, the General Education Department invited the Student Affairs Office of City University of Macau to hold an orientation lecture themed “Mental Health Education and School Counseling Services”. Guided by the concept of “Starting from the Heart,” the lecture provided an inspiring session on mental health, empowering students to embrace their new university chapter with a positive mindset.  

To support students in adapting to the new semester and fostering a harmonious and healthy campus environment, the lecture deepened their understanding of the profound impact of mental health on academic and personal life, enhancing their ability to navigate challenges. The lecture also provided a detailed overview of the school’s psychological counseling services, ensuring students have a comprehensive understanding of the pathways to seek professional support. Through professional guidance, students gained clearer insights into managing emotions and alleviating stress, while also developing confidence in the diverse mental health resources offered by the university. The lecture underscored the importance of mental well-being, encouraging students to approach university life with a proactive and positive attitude.  

The interactive session provided a platform for students to voice their concerns and questions, with the professional responses from the Student Affairs Office team further strengthening trust in the counseling services. The “Mental Health Resource Kit” distributed on-site included practical stress management guides, emotional regulation tools, and contact details for counseling services, offering students convenient resources for ongoing support. The lecture proved highly rewarding, not only raising awareness of mental health but also enhancing students’ understanding of the campus support system. Through their participation, students gained a comprehensive perspective on maintaining psychological balance and proactively addressing academic and social pressures, laying a solid foundation for their future studies and campus life.          

Let us join hands, starting from the heart, to build a healthy and joyful campus life together!
