Coping Strategies and Mental Health Resources

In addition to formal counseling, students are encouraged to take proactive steps in
maintaining their mental health. Here are a few strategies that may help:

1. Stay Connected

Maintain communication with family, friends, and supportive peers. Building a social support
network can reduce feelings of isolation.

2. Establish a Routine

Create a daily schedule that balances academic responsibilities with rest, hobbies, physical
activity, and spiritual practices.

3. Practice Mindfulness or Prayer

Take time to reflect, meditate, or pray—whichever aligns with your beliefs. Mindfulness
practices have been shown to reduce stress and improve focus.

4. Seek Help Early

If you begin to feel overwhelmed, don’t wait. Early support is more effective than dealing with
problems alone over time.

5. Avoid Unhealthy Coping

Be mindful of behaviors like excessive screen time, isolation, or reliance on substances. These
may worsen mental distress.

Mental Health and Academic Success

UIII recognizes that psychological well-being is directly tied to academic performance. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a proactive step toward resilience and success.
Whether you are facing a temporary challenge or ongoing emotional difficulty, there is no shame in asking for support.

Mental health matters. UIII is here to help you succeed—academically, socially, and
emotionally.

Your mental health is just as important as your grades. If you are struggling, remember: you are not alone. Support is available, and reaching out is a courageous and important first step. For more information, please contact the Student Affairs Office or the campus counseling
service.
