To support students in achieving their potential, as well as personal and academic successes, SMU is committed to building a resilient community by providing support and assistance to students and promoting students’ holistic wellbeing.
In SMU, there are dedicated Student Care Officers (SCOs) who actively engage with students to help address stressors like transition challenges for example and develop their abilities to make well-informed choices towards achieving more successes in life. Student Care Officers are involved in the operationalisation of the SMU Resilience Framework – such as planning and executing wellbeing initiatives and early intervention measures that include education, prevention and outreach programmes.
SCOs can help you by:
- Supporting you to manage wellbeing needs that may impact your capacity to focus or study
- Referring you to the best contact person about an issue
- Providing information about where to get academic or personal support
- Helping to navigate university life and the university environment, (eg. processes and policies)
- Referring you to support services, on or off campus
- Lending a listening ear and providing encouragement
