The Counselling and Person Enrichment Section (CoPE) offers tailor-made educational programmes and support services to help our postgraduate students not only achieve academic success during their stay at HKU but also develop psychosocial wellbeing as well as positive attitudes for their future success.
Individual counselling service is offered to postgraduate students to handle university adjustment, personal issues, relationship problems and to improve psychological health. We have a team of professional Clinical Psychologists and Counsellors. This service is confidential and free-of-charge. To consult a counsellor, please call 3917 8388, email cedars-cope@hku.hk or go to our centre at Room 301-323, Main Building. You will receive a 15-20 minute screening assessment conducted by our Duty Counsellor between 10 am and 5 pm (except the lunch hour: 1 pm to 2 pm) on any working days. Afterwards, a full counselling appointment will be scheduled for you within 2 weeks.
Students are encouraged to join our person enrichment programmes to explore and develop their potentials. These included Certificate Course on Mental Health First Aid, workshops on social and emotional competence, effective learning, stress and time management, relationship and communication.
Students are recommended to take various learning and psychological assessments at our web-based Psychological Profile - Psychometer psyax.cedars.hku.hk/ to monitor how well they are doing at HKU. Instant on-line feedback is available. Most assessments are free of charge.
