mindhamok, the world of student wellbeing…
mindhamok® are here for students, our wellbeing service is all about the mental, physical and social health of students, staff & faculty, that’s why mindhamok has all of the bases covered. We have been supporting Study Abroad students globally since 2017. Our approach is centred around prevention and a pro-active approach to one’s own mental health and wellbeing. We know that students are now more upfront about their own and others wellness, the pandemic has only increased this awareness and the importance of addressing it. That’s why we have developed ‘on-demand’ 24-7 assistance tools, a therapist network, helplines, knowledge-base as well as events to be with every student on their journey.
Anxiety and depression are increasing and can hamper a student’s experience in what is supposed to be the ‘years of your life’. Unchecked these can lead to further disruption to academics, friendships, family relationships and a person’s relationship with themselves.
Having access to mindhamok® mental health support services gives international students, study abroad students and the staff & faculty that work with them the tools to help them through their journey and on to the rest of their lives.
Our Story
What later moved over to mindhamok initially began in Rome in 2017, an Italian company created by Phil Georgiou. These student wellbeing services and mental health support services quickly became known as the go-to place for American students to access counselling support whilst studying abroad through use of it’s confidential English-speaking 24/7 helpline. Continued growth led to expansion in Florence, Lugano, Paris, Madrid and London adding further specialist student helplines, critical incident management services, consultancy and training to university staff and faculty, whilst developing hand-picked therapist networks in each city. In 2020 after a thorough review, the all new and expanded mindhamok was imagined & launched.
mindhamok applies an enormous emphasis on prevention and sits on a set of solutions to help the entire university ecosystem with a ‘Student First’ approach. mindhamok provides mental health support and wellbeing service to thousands of students and staff across Europe and the UK, whether home students studying in their own city, international students or students on Study-Abroad programs. mindhamok student support services reduces the stress that students experience and gets them the help they need without the disruptive wait times that can cause further pain to students, parents and staff. We serve the students directly via subscriptions or through their university or organisation.
