Health and Wellness Counseling Services
As Duke Kunshan University is a student-centered organization, we always ensure our students have the resources they need to be safe and successful. In order to protect the health of students, faculty and staff, Duke Kunshan University is equipped with an on-site medical clinic. The clinic’s medical staff is composed of a number of professionals with both overseas experience and professional medical skills. They provide a range of medical services, including general medical care and preventive health care, for all members of the campus community. Patient privacy and confidentiality is strictly enforced at all levels, allowing students the feel at ease when booking a consultation. Duke Kunshan’s medical center hopes to continue promoting and improving the health of students, faculty and staff through warm, relaxed and pleasant doctor-patient communication.
Counseling and Psychological Services is committed to providing diversified services to meet the needs of students’ personal and mental health development. Not only do we pay attention to the individual needs of students, but also to the overall needs of the student body and school community. Different from the individual psychological counseling model of traditional universities, CAPS also provides other unique services, such as group psychological counseling, crisis intervention and emergency services, referral services and general counseling (non-psychological counseling). In addition, CAPS also provides a variety of workshops and activities related to counseling and psychological services.
