About Caring Universities
The Caring Universities project is embedded within the World Health Organization (WHO) College Student Mental Health Surveys (WMH-ICS). This international initiative aims at improving our knowledge on college students’ mental wellbeing. Realizing the needs of students will help us in prevention but also in early detection and treatment of mental disorders during college years. Caring Universities takes it one step further by also offering free web-based interventions to students in need.
Primarily developed by Ms. Sevin Ozmen, Coach, UX Expert & Programme Creator, the online programmes introduce important life skills to college students who would like to improve mood, reduce stress, and overcome procrastination, etc..
