Mental Health Support at UBD

Mental Health Support at UBD

At Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD), we believe that mental well-being and accessible support are essential for the happiness, productivity, and success of our entire community. Through the Counselling and Diverse Learning Needs (CDLearN) Unit, UBD is dedicated to promoting mental health and providing tailored resources for students and staff, including individuals with disabilities.

Our team of professional counsellors offers a safe, confidential space where individuals can discuss challenges, explore personal difficulties, and receive support for specific needs. Each counsellor operates within a strong mentoring and supervision framework, adhering to the highest standards of professionalism and ethics. CDLearN’s services are designed to meet the diverse needs of the UBD community, promoting early detection of mental health concerns, offering disability-related facilities and resources, and fostering an inclusive environment for all.
