Mangaluru: Students facing stress, feeling overwhelmed or struggling through a difficult period can now access confidential support from wellness coaches at the MAHE Mangaluru Campus.

Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Mangaluru, has highlighted the initiative through its social media channels, encouraging students to speak up and seek support when they need it.

The wellness coaches are available to support students at the Bejai and LHH campuses, providing a confidential space where students can talk about their concerns and seek guidance.

Students encouraged to talk openly

The initiative carries a simple message — “It’s okay to talk.” It aims to remind students that they do not have to face difficult moments alone and that seeking support is a positive step towards maintaining emotional well-being.

Students may experience academic pressure, personal concerns, adjustment difficulties or other challenges during their college years. Having access to trained wellness personnel can provide an important avenue for students to discuss their concerns in a supportive environment.

The support is described as strictly confidential, allowing students to approach the wellness coaches and discuss their concerns in a safe and private setting.

Building a supportive campus

The initiative reflects the growing importance of student well-being alongside academic achievement. Colleges and universities play an important role in creating environments where students feel comfortable seeking help without fear of judgement.

By making wellness support accessible on campus, MAHE Mangaluru is encouraging students to recognise when they need support and to take a constructive step towards addressing their concerns.

The message to students is clear: feeling overwhelmed is not something they need to hide, and reaching out for a conversation can be an important first step towards feeling supported.
