Well-being Counselling Services

At Swinburne Vietnam, we care not only about your academic success but also about your mental health and emotional well-being. We believe that emotional resilience, positive experiences, and meaningful relationships are essential ingredients for living a fulfilling and successful life.

That is why we are committed to supporting you through a range of well-being services and initiatives designed to help you maintain balance, build resilience, and thrive both personally and academically.

🌟 The PERMA Model: A Foundation for Lasting Well-being

At Swinburne, our approach to well-being is guided by the PERMA Model, a research-based framework developed to promote positive mental health and flourishing. PERMA consists of five key elements that contribute to a meaningful and satisfying life.

1. Positive Emotions
Experiencing joy, gratitude, hope, and optimism helps strengthen mental well-being and provides a positive foundation for everyday life.

2. Engagement
Being fully immersed in activities that challenge and inspire you can create a sense of “flow,” allowing you to enjoy the process while performing at your best.

3. Relationships
Healthy and supportive relationships foster a sense of belonging, trust, and respect. Strong social connections play a vital role in emotional resilience and overall happiness.

4. Meaning
Having a sense of purpose and understanding the value of what you do brings greater depth and fulfillment to your life.

5. Accomplishment
Achieving personal goals – whether big or small – builds confidence, reinforces motivation, and encourages continuous growth.

If you are experiencing challenges with your mental health, there are several ways to access support:

• Contact Student Services: Our Student Services team can connect you with counselling and well-being support tailored to your needs.
• Talk to your lecturers or academic staff: If mental health concerns are affecting your studies, sharing your situation can help you access appropriate academic support and accommodations.
• Practise self-care: Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, sufficient rest, and participating in activities you enjoy can all contribute to reducing stress and improving overall well-being.

Don’t face challenges alone. Reach out to friends, family members, or join student clubs and communities to build meaningful connections. A strong support network can provide encouragement, practical assistance, and lasting friendships throughout your university journey.
