Type of Activity: Mental Health support initiatives
Organizer office: Health Services

 

The Office of Medical Services provides comprehensive mental health support services for Ajman University staff, serving as the first point of contact for individuals experiencing emotional or psychological distress. These services aim to ensure timely assistance, early intervention, and ongoing support within a safe and supportive environment.

Emergency mental health support includes ad-hoc walk-in consultations, one-to-one counseling sessions conducted in a confidential and secure setting, and the early identification of mental health concerns. The Office also facilitates appropriate referrals, ensures continuous follow-up, and offers workplace accommodation support to help staff manage their wellbeing effectively.

All referrals are coordinated carefully to ensure that required services are covered under the staff health insurance plan, enabling access to professional mental health care without additional financial burden.

We aim to identify the underlying cause of emotional and psychological distress associated with any clinical illness. All health activities and awareness sessions address mental health and well-being in addition to physical health.

Through these initiatives, Ajman University reaffirms its commitment to promoting staff wellbeing and fostering a compassionate, supportive, and healthy work environment.
