Problem
Educational institutions are increasingly recognizing the importance of supporting student mental health and well-being, which are critical to academic success and personal development. However, student counseling services often face significant challenges, including limited resources, high student-to-counselor ratios, and the difficulty of providing personalized support to each student. Academic stress, career uncertainty, and social integration issues are common concerns that can severely impact a student’s experience and performance.
Moreover, students may hesitate to seek help due to stigma or fear of judgment, making it difficult for counselors to intervene early. For student counseling services, the key challenge is efficiently identifying students who need help and providing tailored, timely support to address their unique challenges.
