MPU Builds a Spiritual Support Network with Students

MPU students participated in the "Mental Health First Aid Standard Course" to build a spiritual support network for mental well-being

In response to the call by the World Health Organization, and to enhance the university students’ resilience and promote their physical and mental health well-being, the Student Affairs Office of the Macao Polytechnic University organised the "Mental Health Month Activities". Through activities such as the "Mental Health First Aid Standard Course", the "Life Education Workshop", and the "Major Events and Humanistic Care Seminar", it aimed to strengthen positive thinking and attitudes towards life among university students and together build a spiritual support network for students’ mental well-being.

The "Mental Health Month Activities" included specialised topics, combining practical case studies, role-play exercises, and interactive group discussions and sharing. Balancing theory and practice, this provided students with a comprehensive understanding of the content. The "Life Education Workshop" aimed to inspire students to reflect and respect the value of life. The "Major Events and Humanistic Care Seminar" provided a platform for students to reflect on how different events would affect their mental health. The "Mental Health First Aid Standard Course" helped students to learn how to identify and manage mental health crises, and how to offer appropriate assistance and referrals.

Students who participated in the "Mental Health First Aid Standard Course" concluded that they had a deeper understanding of different mental illnesses, and they could apply the knowledge in their daily lives so that they could respond and handle crises in a more professional and appropriate manner. Students who attended the "Major Events and Humanistic Care Seminar" stated that they realised that every social event has the potential to affect people’s emotions. They also understood the importance of paying closer attention to their own and others' mental well-being and seeking help from professionals when needed.
