Abstract: (2638 Views)
Aims: Previous mental health research has often treated counselors and students as distinct entities, resulting in a lack of comprehension and knowledge at the university level. This study aimed to investigate efforts to enhance mental health literacy in university settings by examining the interaction between student initiatives and counselor strategies.
Participants & Methods: An exploratory qualitative methodology was employed, utilizing interviews, observations, documentation, and focus group discussions as data collection tools. The participants were chosen using a purposive sampling technique based on specific criteria.
Findings: The findings revealed three categories of student initiatives (self-initiative, peer-initiative, and collaborative initiative) and various counselor strategies (education and information, counseling and mentoring, and collaboration with stakeholders). The synergy between these two entities forms an educational and collaborative interaction pattern that fosters mental health advancement.
Conclusion: There are three practical measures to enhance students’ comprehension and awareness of mental health, including prioritizing mental health in new student orientation programs, creating collaborative mental health initiatives, and encouraging student engagement in developing mental health programs within the university environment.
