Introduction

The establishment of a “Wellness Center” at IoBM is aimed to foster the well-being and mental health of the students. The main purpose is to help students to succeed and improve by providing support for the psychological, emotional, social, and behavioral issues. The Wellness Center will provide face to face counselling to the students. In addition to this online counseling services can also be provided to ensure that students seek help with trust and anonymity for their mental health concerns.

We seek to empower students with appropriate tools, information and skills so that they can make their life meaningful and can invest in their present and future well-being. This center will enable us:

• Raising awareness about mental health.
• Reducing stigma associated with mental illness.
• Promote help seeking behaviors and emotional well-being practices.
• Helps to recognize early signs and risks of mental illness.
• Practice and promote positive living.
• Improved self-esteem and self-confidence.
• Better ability to manage stress effectively.

We have created a web version of a basic screening inventory (test) to assess the emotional (mental) state of the individual who wants to avail this service. This assessment will help us to understand what kind of support a person requires, so we are better able to provide the necessary assistance.

Please complete the test (questionnaire) with your true feelings and mental state. It will help us to devise a meaningful treatment /support plan for you. After completing the test you will be guided through email about your next course of action that leads to your appointment with a IoBM’s Mental Health Counsellor . The email that you will receive will contain your appointment day and time.
