Mental Health and Well-Being initiatives at GIM
At the Goa Institute of Management (GIM), initiatives for Mental Health and Well-Being are undertaken to foster emotional resilience, mental health awareness, and overall psychological wellness among all members of the GIM community, including students, faculty, and staff. The Institute is deeply committed to maintaining a supportive campus environment by offering preventive measures, counselling support, and practical strategies to help individuals effectively cope with stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges arising from personal, academic, or professional pressures, as well as unforeseen circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
We firmly believe that difficult times are temporary, and through mutual care, compassion, and a positive mindset, we can emerge stronger together. Prioritizing both mental and physical health, maintaining optimism, and striving for balance in daily life remain central to our community values. As part of these efforts, the Institute has engaged qualified professional Counsellors and Psychologists to provide on-campus support. Additionally, GIM has partnered with the online counselling service provider “YourDOST”, ensuring accessible mental health care for all stakeholders.
