As part of ongoing efforts to support student well-being, Ms. Susan Birungi Badagawa, Counselor of Students at Makerere University Business School (MUBS), held an engagement with members of the Student Mental Health Club, a student-led initiative launched under the Office of the Dean of Students
The meeting aimed to strengthen the club’s role in creating a safe and supportive environment for students to discuss mental health challenges, share experiences, and access professional guidance.
Ms. Badagawa emphasized the importance of open dialogue and early intervention in addressing mental health concerns among young people. “Mental health is just as important as physical health. Through this club, we want to ensure that every student knows they are not alone, and help is available,” she said.
The Student Mental Health Club was established to promote awareness, peer support, and destigmatization around mental health issues on campus. It serves as a critical link between students and mental health resources available at MUBS.
This initiative aligns with the School’s broader commitment to student welfare, academic success, and holistic development.
