Wellbeing is a combination of your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social health, and is strongly linked to happiness and life satisfaction.
One way to describe your wellbeing is how you feel about yourself, your life, and the world around you.
IMPORTANT: JCU Counselling and Wellbeing is open 9.00am - 4pm Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays and a closure period over Christmas and New Year. If you require support after hours or during our closure period, please contact:
The JCU Urgent Mental Health Support Line provides support via phone or text when other university student support services are unavailable. It helps callers by addressing immediate safety concerns, discussing coping strategies for their current crisis and linking students to appropriate services for ongoing support.
