Our Wellness Centre takes care of the physical and psychological health of our students
Published on 10/9/2024
Since 2020, the Wellness Centre at NEOMA has supported our students with all concerns that affect their physical and mental health. The school views these issues as a top priority, and well-being is an essential element for studying under the best conditions. That is why the school has set up a Wellness Centre with a nurse on each of the Reims, Rouen and Paris campuses.
Students have the option of meeting with psychologists free of charge. The psychologists regularly meet with students to discuss stress management before the exam period.
For example, at the end of 2024, the Wellness Centre organised speed meetings with Apsytude, a platform of psychologists, and provided access to the 3114 suicide prevention association.
It conducts many different actions to provide information and assistance with sexually transmitted disease prevention, alcohol consumption, hygiene and nutrition.
The nurses have developed a network of partners in Paris, Reims and Rouen, which helps them easily direct students towards the right healthcare professionals.
The Wellness centre is also a place to talk about disabilities. Some students can receive academic assistance for their situation or talk with the school’s disability assistants so they can express their needs.
More broadly, the Wellness Centre at NEOMA works to promote diversity and inclusiveness. It has a unit that combats all forms of violence, harassment and discrimination. Seven members of the staff can be reached at any time to provide a response according to the situation’s reported level of emergency.
In all cases, the Wellness Centre at NEOMA should be seen by students as a safe haven, a place where they can speak openly, where one immediately feels that they are in a safe and trustworthy environment. In fact, it has this kind of reputation, which can be seen in the 55% increase in care service between the 2022 and 2023 school years.
To succeed in its support mission, the Wellness Centre works closely with other departments at the school such as the Internship, Mobility and Programmes departments. Likewise, it has a clear connection with the Exams department so it can provide assistance suited to the health situation of each student.
