●What is the Health Service Center Student Counseling Office?
Certified Public Psychologists offer confidential counselings from an expert standpoint with regard to various worries and problems that students face. At the university, counselling services are referred to as “student counseling.” Please book and come in for a counseling If there’s something on your mind, be it a psychological concern about your relationships with other people or your personality, worries about your studies or future, health concerns such as insomnia or loss of appetite, etc.
Student counseling is centered on the person coming for advice. A certified public psychologist asks what’s troubling them, what their hopes are, and so on, and helps them to zone in on their problem. The psychologist helps make it easy for the person to settle on a solution that suits them. In addition, the psychologist can, based on the person’s wishes, provide them specialist information, act as a go-between to improve relationships between the person and others, refer the person to appropriate people or organizations, and perform various other services.
It seems that more and more people feel reluctant to go to the Counseling Office, and instead search for solutions on the web or seek advice using social media, but it is difficult to find solutions to specific worries and problems. If your worries and problems are continuing even after consulting your friends and family, please tryout our student counseling service. You can also use the service if a friend or family member is in difficulty. Try to acquire the flexibility to rely on others in times of need.

●Student Crew “Student Crew” are student volunteers who engage in activities to support the mental and physical health of students. They emerged out of a program for supporting growth through mental and physical development selected by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as a Student Support GP (Good Practice). Students across schools and years assist with some of the activities (e.g., dietary education) of the Health Service Center, while also conducting activities in their schools. They make more friends and improve their communication abilities. They can join at any time, and only need to participate when they are able to participate. If you want to do something, why not join them?

At meetings held once or twice a month, we actively exchange opinions to decide on activities. You can attend whenever it is convenient. So if you are interested, check the poster in the Student Union Hall or the notice on the Acanthus Portal.
