2018年4月20日，全新的学生咨询服务在浙江国际校区正式开放。 该服务旨在为心理健康和幸福的学生和员工提供支持。
参加开幕式的员工和学生聚集在一起，听取周五两场心理健康讲座。 浙江大学心理健康教育与咨询中心副主任朱一红教授做了一个名为“在这里，开心”的讲座。
Prof. Zhu described that happiness is a feeling we have and that being a 'good' person is important to our happiness. She listed seven ways to help promote happiness; 'have good relationships', 'accept yourself', 'be grateful', 'be hopeful', 'here and now', 'be known rather than excepted' and 'stand in a different position'.
She also particularly described the challenge for international students: "This is a challenging time for international students, coming to a new country, without family, with different culture and pressures. Adapting to new circumstances can be hard."
Associate Dean Zhang Jun, No.4 Hospital of Haining gave the second lecture in Chinese, ‘Health comes from your Heart’. Mr Zhang Jun said that people's physical and mental health is influenced by mental activity and discussed what mental health is.
The establishment of Student Counselling Centre is supported by the Mental Health Education and Counselling Centre of Zhejiang University main campus, the Health and Family Planning Bureau of Haining City, the No. 4 Hospital of Haining and The University of Edinburgh.
Students will be able to book appointments on a Tuesday evening or Friday afternoon and meet with specialist counselling staff.
