On June 11, 2024, the Student Affairs Division of the Faculty of Public Health held this project in the PH410 meeting room. The project aimed to equip faculty and staff with the skills needed to counsel students on mental health. In addition, participants learned about the mental health screening system and the referral process for entering the university’s student care and support system. The rationale for organizing this project stems from the fact that when students enter university, they encounter a much wider world, granting them significant freedom. This transition requires students to simultaneously adjust to university life, their studies, social environments, and forming new friendships. Consequently, they are likely to experience considerable stress, which can negatively impact their academic performance and overall university experience. This stress can lead to issues with both physical and mental health, which are often neglected, potentially escalating to serious problems that may require attention from a psychologist or psychiatrist. In some cases, students might even contemplate suicide. In the face of these challenges, faculty members, staff, and others involved with students play a crucial role in addressing these problems by providing initial counseling and making necessary referrals for further assistance. Therefore, the Student Affairs Division of the Faculty of Public Health organized a project to prepare participants to offer basic mental health counseling. The goal was to equip them with the knowledge and understanding needed to manage critical situations and ensure that students suffering from mental health issues receive appropriate referrals. The project was sponsored by Mrs. Monta Anuratsorn, a psychologist from the Student Affairs Division at Burapha University. She delivered a lecture on preparing to provide mental health counseling to students, the mental health screening system, and the referral process for students into the university’s care and support system. The event also included a training workshop on providing mental health counseling to students. Twenty lecturers and staff members showed interest and participated.
