Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Mental-health education
Health and well-being are essential for a sustainable society. In the 2021-2022 academic year, 4% of our students graduated with degrees in the field of Psychology, equipped to promote the mental health and well-being of communities.
Policies and support services
USJ provides free mental health support to our students and staff through our counselling services, which also refer sexual health issues to the appropriate health services. USJ is a smoke-free campus. The use of tobacco products is prohibited in enclosed buildings and facilities, as well as during events, whether indoor or outdoor. To accommodate the needs of some students and staff, we do provide a designated ‘smoking allowed’ restricted area away from the main part of campus.
Collaborations
Partnerships are vital to the promotion of the SDGs. USJ partners with the Macao government and other organisations to promote the health of Macao’s population.
In this academic year, Macao still experienced a tough time because of the Covid-19. USJ community assisted in safeguarding the health of Macao’s population by taking action, our students and staff volunteered to be the front-line workers in the mass NAT testing.
Health service
We provide mental health support to the community at a reduced rate, through our counselling services, and physical health is promoted through our sports facilities, which are shared with a local secondary school.
