12 A Nurturing Community Teaching and Learning Charter Ample Support for Student Wellness Every incoming HKUMed undergraduate student is paired with a teacher as their Academic Adviser at each stage of their professional or academic development. Additionally, HKUMed engages senior students, who are trained in mental health first aid, to serve as peer mentors and supporters for our students. Through our teachers and students, HKUMed aims to foster a community that supports active learning and whole-person development. To cultivate a positive and harmonious culture and environment, HKUMed has established the Teaching and Learning Charter, which articulates the essential values and responsibilities that members of HKUMed are expected to honour. By this Charter, teachers and students commit to an agreed list of values, attitudes and behaviours. Students of HKUMed affirm that they will take good care of themselves and the others, being kind, supportive, diligent and responsible; likewise, teachers of HKUMed affirm that they will be professional, respectful and supportive to the others, serving as good role models for students. The HKUMed Student Wellness Team, consisting of mental health professionals trained in clinical psychology, counselling psychology, social work and counselling, provides a wide range of support services for HKUMed's undergraduate students to ensure they stay well throughout their years of medical training. Using an approach that integrates therapeutic and preventive practices, the Student Wellness Team delivers services targeted at students’ psychological growth through strictly confidential counselling on an individual level, and prevention of psychological distress through outreach and engagement with students on a mass level.
