SDGs and SCC

Embarking on a shared commitment to global sustainability, the Student Counselling Center (SCC) at Al Yamamah University stands as a steadfast ally in advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As we champion the ideals of a more equitable, inclusive, and resilient world, the SCC aligns its mission with the overarching principles of the SDGs. At the heart of our endeavors lies a dedication to fostering a supportive environment that not only nurtures academic success but also prioritizes the holistic well-being of our students. Through a collaborative approach, the SCC aims to empower individuals with the knowledge, skills, and resilience necessary to thrive academically and personally, thereby contributing to the realization of a sustainable future for our global community. Join us in this transformative journey, where the pursuit of well-being intertwines with the pursuit of a better world for all.

The work of counseling generally aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as it contributes to the well-being and development of individuals and communities. However, one specific SDG that closely relates to counseling is SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.

SDG 3 aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Counseling plays a crucial role in supporting mental health, addressing psychological challenges, and promoting overall well-being. By providing guidance, emotional support, and coping strategies, counseling helps individuals navigate life’s complexities and contributes to the achievement of SDG 3 by promoting mental health and well-being.

Additionally, counseling interventions may have indirect impacts on other SDGs, such as SDG 4 (Quality Education) by enhancing students’ ability to learn and succeed, SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by promoting mental health in the workplace, and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) by fostering social inclusion and addressing issues related to conflicts and violence.
