SERDANG, Oct 5 –Counselling Division of Universiti Putra Malaysia (BKUPM) has planned various activities during the National Counselling Month celebration at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).

October was recognized as a Counselling Month and Mental Health Month. Various responses have been carried out from ministry level to school level. BKUPM is also not left behind in realising various guidance and counselling activities to the campus community. Unlike the response this time, each program was carried out to have the same mission but a different approach.

In line with the Celebration of Counselling Month with the theme "Counselling towards Community Welfare", BKUPM's main mission is to assist the community especially students and workers of UPM to achieve optimal mental, emotional and psychological well-being. The stress that campus citizens have while working and studying during the Covid-19 pandemic is not easy. Therefore, BKUPM is always ready to provide various service channels to assist them. Sharing of knowledge was held using social media platforms such as Facebook Bahagian Kaunseling UPM, Instagram (bahagiankaunselingupm) as well as through Youtube channels (bkupmcube).

In view of this period, UPM students have not been able to attend physical lectures, BKUPM has still fulfilled social responsibility in sharing their knowledge. The sharing was delivered directly by counsellors from the UPM Counselling Division. To view programs organized by BKUPM, please refer to the posters displayed. Among the programmes organised were The Counsellor Sharing on Radio putra.fm, fblive sharing at BKUPM’s Official Facebook and directly from BKUPM Instagram. Moreover, webinar forums are also held where listeners can listen to counsellor sharing anywhere.

With the implementation of such programmes, BKUPM aims to every student and employee of BKUPM looking for time to jointly BKUPM through prigrams provided as one of the knowledge platforms that can help them cope with the various issues experienced. Together we practice new norms while maintaining mental, emotional and psychological wellbeing in order to help ourselves and your loved ones from the Covid-19 pandemic.
