The second "Oxford Prospects and Global Development Institute & Jilin University (JLU) Counselling Workshop" was held online from Feb 13 to 28, 2023.

The workshop featured 11 lectures and discussions led by leading UK scholars and professionals in the area of student mental health education. More than 50 mental health practitioners from JLU and 13 partner institutions participated, making it a hub for shared learning and collaboration. 

Focusing on psychological counselling practices in UK universities, the program delved into detailed case studies, exploring techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and psychoanalysis. Participants examined common challenges in student counselling and discussed strategies for effective intervention. 

Each session fostered vibrant interactions between participants and experts, allowing attendees to share practical experiences and deepen their understanding of counselling methodologies. 

Co-hosted by JLU's Office of Global Engagement and the Student Mental Health Guidance Center, the workshop underscored the university's commitment to advancing high-quality mental health education. Future initiatives will continue to strengthen global collaboration and drive innovation in this critical field.
