Supporting Student Wellness for Academic Success

Post by Eduvos, March 16, 2026.

Starting your higher education journey is an exciting chapter filled with new opportunities and experiences. At the same time, balancing studies, personal responsibilities, and future goals can sometimes feel challenging.

Having access to the right student support services can make a meaningful difference throughout your studies. That’s why Eduvos offers a range of student wellness services to support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being and help you navigate this journey.


The Link Between Wellness and Academic Performance

When your mind and body are taken care of, staying motivated becomes far more manageable to perform better academically. Looking after your wellness can help you stay engaged in your studies, manage academic pressure more effectively, maintain energy and motivation, and build stronger relationships with peers and lecturers.


Supporting Mental Health

Deadlines, exams, and life transitions can sometimes bring stress or anxiety, and having access to the right support can make a real difference in your mental health. Eduvos has partnered with the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) to provide students with free and confidential mental health support.

Through this partnership, students have access to:

  • A 24/7 toll-free Eduvos Student Helpline (0800 008 206)
  • The Have Hope WhatsApp Chatline (087 163 2050)
  • Professional counselling and mental health resources

Staying Active for a Healthier Mind

Physical activity is another important part of student wellness, as regular exercise is known to reduce stress, improve your mood, and help with concentration. Eduvos students and alumni benefit from an exclusive Virgin Active gym discount, offering reduced joining fees and 20% off a 12-month gym membership. This makes it easier to stay active and prioritise your well-being while balancing your studies.


Support Beyond the Classroom

Our Student Affairs Advisors (SAAs) play a key role in guiding you during your time at Eduvos. From enrolment through to graduation, SAAs act as advisors and your consistent point of support. They assist by checking in on academic progress and well-being, helping manage workloads and programme requirements, and offering guidance when challenges arise. SAAs also help create opportunities for students to connect through campus activities that encourage friendships and a sense of belonging.

When you feel supported, confident, and healthy, you are better equipped to pursue your goals and shape the future you imagine. Your well-being matters, and Eduvos is committed to supporting you throughout your journey to success.
