Proactive Mental Health Care at JGU

At Jindal Global University (JGU), mental well-being is recognized as foundational to a thriving campus community and academic success. The university adopts a proactive approach, integrating education, accessible mental health care, and inclusive support services to empower all students, faculty, and staff. By placing mental health at the forefront, JGU drives sustainable development and health equity, ensuring that every individual on campus has the resources needed to flourish academically, personally, and socially. 

Sukoon Centre for Mental Health 

In partnership with Sukoon, a leading mental health provider in India, JGU has strengthened its on-campus resources with the Sukoon Centre for Mental Health. Sukoon’s “Educate, Detect, Treat” philosophy ensures that care is timely, evidence-based, and personalized: 

  1. Professional Support: Students have free access to compassionate, highly qualified counselors and mental health professionals, with services tailored to address academic stress, personal challenges, and emotional difficulties. 

  1. Screening Services: Proactive monitoring and early intervention strategies help identify and address mental health concerns before they escalate. 

  1. Workshops and Events: Ongoing programs include empowering workshops, awareness campaigns, and interactive sessions that promote resilience, decrease stigma, and cultivate a supportive campus community. 

  1. Operational Hours: The Sukoon Centre operates from Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with additional psychologist visits and flexible appointments as needed. 

  1. Crisis Response: For urgent mental health issues, JGU’s 24/7 ambulance and local partnerships ensure that immediate professional care is always accessible.

Campus Engagement and Education: Mental health promotion goes beyond service delivery. Weekly and annual events such as “Mental Health Week,” World Mental Health Day seminars, creative therapy workshops, and immersive wellness fairs create sustained dialogue, skill-building, and visibility for mental well-being. Initiatives like the Mental Health “JOY Kit,” curated by students and faculty, offer practical self-care reminders and reinforce a culture of daily mindfulness. Programming is tailored to the diverse and evolving needs of international students, LGBTQIA+ community members, and those navigating major transitions. 

Inclusive and Sustainable Well-Being: JGU’s mental health initiatives are integrated with broader accessibility, disability support, and prevention frameworks—ensuring all students, regardless of background or identity, receive sensitive and appropriate support. Plans are underway to further develop peer-counselor programs, expand digital self-help resources, and deepen collaborations with experts in the field. Through compassionate, confidential, and forward-thinking care, JGU sustains a resilient, inclusive, and empowered community. 

Education and Awareness: Education drives our mental health strategy. Alongside Sukoon’s offerings, JGU hosts workshops, seminars, and peer-led discussions on stress management, mindfulness, and resilience. These initiatives, guided by mental health professionals and student ambassadors, aim to reduce stigma and promote openness. The Sukoon Centre’s events and awareness sessions further enhance this effort, empowering individuals with practical tools for proactive self-care and fostering a culture of support and understanding within the JGU community. 

Accessible and Inclusive Support: The Sukoon Centre ensures mental health resources are equitable and accessible. Beyond free counseling and drop-in hours, we provide referrals to external specialists when needed. Support is tailored for diverse groups—international students, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those facing transitions—reflecting our commitment to inclusion. Online self-help guides and virtual support groups extend care to all, regardless of location or schedule. Testimonials like this inspire us: “I sought Sukoon’s services during a time of immense stress and personal loss while at RINPAS. After rehabilitation and therapy, the experience was pleasant—Sukoon truly brought me peace.” 

Sustainability in Mental Health Practices: Our mental health efforts align with sustainability goals, fostering long-term resilience. Eco-conscious practices, such as digital counseling to reduce paper waste, complement our environmental commitment. Through Sukoon’s outreach and collaboration with local organizations, we extend mental health awareness to the Sonipat community, amplifying social impact and advancing health equity beyond campus borders. 

A Holistic Commitment to Well-Being: Proactive mental health care at JGU, bolstered by the Sukoon Centre for Mental Health, is about building a resilient, supportive, and sustainable community. By blending accessible services, educational outreach, and compassionate care, we empower our members to navigate life challenges with confidence. Through this collaboration with Sukoon, students gain access to free-of-cost, professional mental health services, ensuring they can seek confidential support whenever needed, whether academic stress, personal challenges, or emotional distress. Together, we’re shaping for a future where mental health thrives, ensuring every student receives the care they deserve.
