Currently, there are many factors that affect the well-being and development of students in a society that is rapidly changing, especially in terms of education and work, which have high expectations from both society and family, which may lead to increased stress and anxiety among students. Therefore, the university emphasizes taking care of students’ mental health by establishing the “KKU MORE CARE” center to provide consultation and care for students for a better quality of life. Asst. Prof. Dr. Khruesart Khanhan, Vice President for Student Development and Alumni Relations, Khon Kaen University, revealed on the KKU Transformation program about the establishment of the “KKU More Care” counseling and guidance center for Khon Kaen University students, stating that taking care of students’ mental health is one of the top priorities for Khon Kaen University. This is because many factors affect the well-being and development of students in a society that is rapidly changing, especially in terms of education and work, which have high expectations from both society and family, causing students to experience increased stress and anxiety. Therefore, solving problems from the beginning is very important. Khon Kaen University has therefore established the KKU More Care Counseling and Guidance Center, located at the Office of Educational Development and Alumni Relations. There are psychologists who are experts in taking care of students’ problems, whether it is mental health or other problems, who can come to ask for advice both during and after office hours. As for social media channels, The center will have a system for students to make appointments through the system.
