First Year Coping Program

Laying the Foundation for a Healthy Start in Medicine

Your journey starts with an exploratory session that provides a safe, confidential space to speak freely. Through a structured interview we chart stress triggers, coping habits, learning preferences and goals, then administer a validated self-assessment tool to generate an objective Stress Profile. Based on this  you receive a personalised Action Plan—a plain-language report plus a roadmap of focused techniques.

Following sessions, delivered individually or in small groups online or in-person, target four pillars: Mind-Body Regulation (mindfulness drills, guided imagery, diaphragmatic breathing etc); Cognitive Flexibility (re-framing, self-compassion, values clarification, ); Productivity & Time (time-blocking sprints, anti-procrastination hacks, digital-wellbeing); and Peer & Social Support (structured circles, role-plays, communication labs). After each meeting you complete reflection prompts that feed a progress log, allowing you to visualise change over time.

This module complements—but does not replace—licensed psychological care; referrals are suggested whenever needed. By completion you own a personalised toolkit and maintenance plan, converting pressure into lasting professional strength.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The first year of an MBBS, BDS or Allied-Health degree is a high-stakes transition marked by academic overload, an unfamiliar learning environment and social upheaval. Left unmanaged, these stressors erode well-being and derail performance. Early, personalised support is therefore critical.

How the Program Works

Curated exclusively for students in first year ( ideally upto six initial months) , our eight-session module equips you to:

  • Adapt to the vast curriculum with smart-study blueprints, context-concept mapping and active-recall drills
  • Identify your learning style and match it with proven study techniques
  • Build time-management habits that leave room for rest and reflection
  • Enhance emotional intelligence , 
  • prevent /manage homesickness and strengthen cultural resilience
  • Sustain mental health wellbeing through evidence-based stress-management practices

How It Works

A confidential, structured interview plus a validated self-assessment tool produces an objective Stress Profile

Plain-language report outlining best-fit learning strategies and coping tools.

Provides you with evidence based techniques individualised to your needs and abilities to build resilience and coping skills to face and overcome challenges encountered in the first year of your health professional course.

Note: This module complements—but does not replace—licensed psychological care; referrals are suggested when needs exceed scope.
