Student Wellbeing
At Kaplan Business School we strongly focus on all aspects of student wellbeing and safety, including sexual assault and sexual harassment.
MENTAL HEALTH AND COUNSELLING SERVICES
Student welfare is a priority at KBS and we are committed to providing students with the appropriate resources, tools and support to look after their psychological wellbeing. As a school where most students come from diverse backgrounds, we recognise the struggles of studying may have an adverse effect on a students’ mental health. That’s why we have dedicated student counsellors at all our campuses to ensure our students’ mental health and well-being are proactively looked after.
SONDER
All our students have access to Sonder; a 24/7 personal safety and wellbeing service accessible on demand via the Sonder app, phone and in-person.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Kaplan Business School has an unwavering commitment to the diversity and inclusion of all students. We continue to work hard to provide a supportive and nurturing environment that creates a sense of belonging for our students that embrace their diverse backgrounds.
