Macao Polytechnic University’s “Soul Recharge Station” Various Activities Encourage Students' Physical and Mental Health

To enhance students’ attention to physical and mental health, as well as their emotional management skills, and to popularise mental health knowledge, the Student Affairs Office of Macao Polytechnic University has organised a series of “Soul Recharge Station” activities. These activities include sound healing workshops featuring Singing Bowl Meditation and Nature Sounds Relaxation, as well as the Standard Mental Health First Aid Course. The aim is to balance students’ physical and mental health development, and improve their emotional regulation and stress resistance abilities.

The sound healing workshops allow students to experience relaxation and deep calm through the use of singing bowls and other natural instruments, combined with physical relaxation and breathing exercises. Students participating in the workshops have reported entering a state of relaxation while listening to the sounds of singing bowls and natural instruments. The Standard Mental Health First Aid Course help students learn how to identify and handle mental health crises, providing appropriate assistance to those in need. Students who attended the course said that it effectively met the goal of helping themselves while helping others. In addition to learning about common mental health disorders, they also acquired methods to effectively cope with crises.

The Student Affairs Office has always valued the development of students’ physical and mental health. It continuously organises a variety of campus activities focusing on physical and mental health to implement the “Healthy Campus” initiative in higher education institutions, thereby safeguarding the comprehensive and healthy development of students through various forms.
