Proactive Mental Health Support
JGU sees mental wellbeing as foundational to campus life. It combines education, easy access to care and inclusive support for students, faculty and staff.
Sukoon Centre for Mental Health
In partnership with Sukoon, JGU provides free, confidential mental health services on campus under an “Educate, Detect, Treat” model. On-site professionals offer one-on-one counselling and resilience-building workshops that help reduce the stigma around mental health. Support covers academic stress, personal challenges and emotional difficulties. The Centre screens proactively for early intervention and runs workshops, awareness campaigns and events such as Mental Health Week and World Mental Health Day seminars, including the JOY Kit. It is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extra psychologist visits by appointment. It offers tailored support for international students, LGBTQIA+ community members and anyone going through a major transition. All services are non-judgemental and student-centred.
Between April 2025 and March 2026, Sukoon served 1,536 individual clients and managed 854 emergencies. Its workshops, events and digital outreach reached the wider community.
Centre for Wellness and Counselling Services (CWCS)
CWCS offers one-on-one counselling for emotional, psychological and personal concerns, crisis support and a 24×7 helpline. It runs a volunteer programme for students who want to promote awareness and peer support. It works with the Disability Support Committee on accommodations, in line with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and the Mental Health Care Act, 2017. It also supports COGSHASH with sensitisation and healing programmes, and offers sensitisation support to students referred by the University Students Disciplinary Committee.
Care beyond counselling
The Health Centre provides round-the-clock medical support, a 24/7 ambulance for urgent cases and regular advisories on topics such as exam stress. Its epilepsy awareness advisory, issued after National Epilepsy Day 2025, was also written to reduce stigma.
In addition to the same we also host event specifically for mental health awareness and help.
