Mental Health Academic Support

At Specialist Education, we believe mental health is part of the journey for all learners. We have built Mental Health Academic Support to ensure our students have full support to navigate through challenges associated with mental health and with the tools required for continuing full academic capability. Whatever your situation, whether it is anxiety, depression, or any other type of mental health issue, we are a supportive team qualified and experienced to help you.

What is Mental Health Academic Support?

This includes services created to support students with mental health disorders. We are here to provide specialised strategies and techniques to ensure that mental health does not interfere with your academic success. We do this by offering coaching on study skills, time management, and stress management, to enable you to give your best performance in times of challenge. We believe that with the appropriate support, every student can reach their potential.
Coaching for Mental Health Wellness
In addition to academic support, we provide Mental Health Wellness Coaching. The service is a commitment to your well-being, building your mental and emotional resilience to better manage school, work, and life demands.

Why is the Mental Health of Students So Important?

Mental wellness has a profound impact on a child’s capacity for learning, to concentrate, retain information, cope with stress, get along with peers and become self-reliant. Anxiety, depression or stress can interfere with grades, attendance and even have a lasting impact on a student’s academic and personal aspirations. With strong commitment to mental health, we give students the tools to more confidently address academic challenges and find a healthy balance between their studies and welfare.

Dubai’s Commitment to Student Wellbeing

There’s no doubt that student well-being has become an increasing focus within Dubai’s educational realm. Government and tertiary institutions are recognising the importance of mental health, and are initiating policies to provide safe, inclusive and supportive places for learning. These consist of routine workshops, media publicity campaigns, peer-led counsellor programs and specialist mental health services. Specialisted mirrors the vision and delivers expert-led support amidst Dubai’s visionary view on holistic education.
Dubai’s Student Welfare Team
In Dubai, teams of student welfare are on the ground at schools working to ensure that students get the emotional and academic attention they require. These practitioners are specifically trained counsellors or mental health or student support officers who coordinate care, track progress, and provide a safe outlet for articulation. At Specialisted we have our own welfare team to support students through all the unique struggles of academic pressure, emotional difficulty and personal growth.
Tips for Higher Education Students to Stay Mentally Active
To help students keep mentally agile and emotionally balanced, these are ideas we suggest:
Keep moving: Exercise boosts mood and attention.
Keep to routine: Routine creates structure and mental clarity.
Network: Stay in touch with family, friends, and colleagues to avoid becoming isolated.
Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness such as meditation or deep breathing have been shown to reduce anxiety.
Our team at Specialisted is here to assist and coach students through these strategies and techniques with recommendations for what techniques will work best for you.
