ENSURE HEALTHY LIVES AND PROMOTE WELL-BEING FOR ALL AT ALL AGES
MENTAL-HEALTH EDUCATION
Mental Health and well-being are essential for a sustainable society. In the 2023-2024 academic year, 8.43% of our students graduated with degrees in the field of Psychology, equipped to enhance the mental health and well-being of their communities.
POLICIES AND SUPPORT SERVICES
USJ is a smoke-free campus as smoking is not allowed on campus. This is in compliance with the Macao Regime for Prevention and Control of Tobacco Use. The use of tobacco products is prohibited in enclosed buildings and facilities, as well as during events, both indoors and outdoors. Under the Alcohol and Illegal Substances Policy, USJ is committed to maintaining an environment that is free from substance abuse.
COLLABORATIONS
Partnerships are important in making progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). USJ partners with the Macao government and other organisations to enhance the health of Macao’s population.
In the 2023-2024 academic year, USJ promoted good health and well-being through several initiatives. One of the initiatives is the USJ Blood Drive 2024, an annual event that encourages the USJ community to contribute to health and wellness. Additionally, USJ joined the GBA Physical Education and Sport Development Alliance, which focuses on enhancing physical education and sports development. Furthermore, USJ collaborated with a local enterprise, Macau Konghon Biomedical Technology Development Group Co. Ltd, to establish a Joint Research Institute, which aims at advancing research and development in biomedical technology to successfully tackle the community’s health needs.
HEALTH SERVICE
We provide mental health support to the community at a reduced rate through our counselling services.These services also provide referrals for sexual health issues to the appropriate health services. We also promote physical health through our sports facilities shared with a local secondary school.
