Mental health is an integral part of our overall wellbeing, shaping how we think, feel, and manage stress. In today’s fast-paced and digitally connected world, students face unique challenges that can impact their mental and emotional balance. Whether it’s academic pressure, personal issues, or adapting to university life, it’s crucial to prioritise mental health and seek support when needed.
IMU Healthcare Services focuses on mental health and well-being as an essential part of overall care. They offer services like counselling, psychiatric consultations, and mental wellness programmes to help individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. With a team of experienced professionals, IMU Healthcare provides personalised and confidential care in a supportive environment, helping patients improve their overall well-being.

When you’re facing a mental health challenge, reaching out is the first and bravest step. The MHFA Staff Representatives at IMU University are a network of trained staff volunteers ready to provide initial, non-judgmental support.
These staff representatives:
You are welcome to reach out to any MHFA Staff representative across IMU University if you feel comfortable.
However, it may sometimes be easier to talk to someone familiar from your own academic community.
Staff members are trained to recognise signs of mental health challenges such as stress, anxiety, or depression, and can provide initial support. You can turn to a familiar face for help. Respecting everyone’s time and privacy, the best way to make initial contact is by sending an email or Microsoft Teams message to introduce yourself and arrange a convenient time to chat.
For ongoing counselling, contact the central Student Counselling Services (SCS) team directly. An MHFA staff representative can assist in facilitating this connection.
Fact: MHFA Staff Representatives are not trained counsellors. They serve as a first point of contact, offering initial support and guiding you to professional services at Student Counselling Services (SCS) when needed.
Fact: MHFA Staff Representatives are not qualified to diagnose mental health conditions. The role is to recognise when someone may be struggling and to encourage seeking professional help.
Your privacy is treated with the highest priority. However, as university staff, MHFA Representatives have a responsibility to escalate serious concerns if there is a risk of harm to you or others, in line with standard safeguarding protocols.
Fact: MHFA Staff Representatives are volunteer staff and do not keep clinical records. Concerns are not reported to your faculty or HR unless there is a critical safety issue. The role is to provide informal support as part of the IMU community.
