In a remarkable initiative reflecting its deep commitment to student well-being, the Imperial College of Business Studies recently sponsored a special Mental Health Management session tailored specifically for badminton players. This session, conducted by renowned counselling psychologist Ms. Maya Dissanayaka, is part of the college’s broader effort to support the holistic development of its students — both on and off the court.
Recognizing the mental pressures faced by student-athletes, Imperial College took a proactive step in organizing this impactful program. From planning to execution, the college worked closely with mental health professionals to ensure the session addressed real-world challenges such as performance anxiety, emotional regulation, and maintaining mental clarity under pressure. Ms. Dissanayaka’s engaging and practical approach offered players actionable techniques to build mental resilience, boosting their overall performance and personal growth.
This initiative is a testament to Imperial College’s vision of fostering a healthy, balanced environment where mental well-being is given as much importance as academic and athletic excellence. By investing in programs like these, the college continues to set a benchmark in student-centered education and support.
