With its strategy to develop into a multidisciplinary and sustainable university, UEH is committed to fostering a happy and thriving community of UEHers. To achieve this goal, the university places special emphasis on mental health care — a key factor that helps each individual maintain balance, enhance performance, and live meaningfully within a humane and emotionally supportive learning environment.
Understanding the importance of mental well-being, the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) organized the talk show “Enhancing Mental Health Awareness and Self-care Skills”, aiming to equip UEHers with tools to identify early signs of stress, understand psychological risk factors, and nurture balance in both study and daily life.
In a fast-paced and high-pressure academic environment, caring for mental health is not only about recognizing emotional distress but also a vital life skill that helps every UEHer sustain creativity, productivity, and long-term growth.
Through his insightful sharing, Dr. Phạm Minh Triết provided participants with essential knowledge about common psychological disorders, age-related risk factors, and practical methods to take proactive care of one’s mental well-being. Real-life examples and case analyses sparked deep empathy and self-reflection among attendees, reinforcing the key message:
“Caring for your mental health is not a sign of weakness — it is an act of courage and maturity.”
The atmosphere grew even more engaging during the interactive Q&A session, where students openly shared their real-life struggles with academic pressure, family expectations, emotional control, and moments of burnout or hopelessness.
Addressing these heartfelt questions, Dr. Triết reminded students that every emotion has value — and seeking help is not weakness, but a sign of self-awareness and resilience. From this dialogue, students learned an important lesson: listen to yourself, reach out when needed, and show empathy toward others, because even a small act of understanding can bring healing to someone in pain.
Alongside awareness programs, the DSA continues to implement counseling services — available both in-person and online. These services allow students to receive timely support from professional counselors during their academic journey and daily life.
Such initiatives reaffirm UEH’s commitment to a safe, compassionate, and sustainable university environment, where every UEHer can develop holistically — both intellectually and emotionally.
With continuous efforts toward nurturing mental wellness, UEH hopes each member of its community will become a positive ambassador, spreading the spirit of compassion, happiness, and resilience — together building a caring and sustainable learning community at UEH.
