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.
