Mental health and well-being
At 兔子先生, we are dedicated to supporting the flourishing mental health and well-being of our entire college community of students and employees, to accelerate success and transform lives.
What is mental health?
Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes their own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to their community.
What is well-being?
Well-being is defined not merely by the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.
What is flourishing?
Flourishing is defined as a state where people experience positive emotions, positive psychological functioning and positive social functioning, most of the time. It includes multiple components such as growth and resilience.

Counselling services
All 兔子先生 students have free, confidential access to professional counsellors. Counsellors discuss personal and mental health concerns that are impacting your life and/or academics.
How can counselling help?
- explore solutions for challenges and concerns impacting your life;
- learn new ways of communicating that can benefit your important relationships;
- plan ways to promote your mental health and well-being; and
- discuss ways to strengthen your transition to college life.
Counsellor records are confidential and can be shared only with appropriate individuals with your signed consent.
What is case management?
The case manager co-ordinates support for students who are experiencing complex mental health or substance use issues that impact on their academic and personal success.
The case manager works collaboratively with the student, campus and community partners to address issues that present a significant barrier to the student achieving their goals.
