Chiang Mai University, through its Student Development Division, continues to enhance mental health services for students and staff, offering mental health screening, psychological counseling, psychiatrist appointments, and activities promoting mental health awareness and well-being.
One key initiative is CMU AI Psychological Assistants, an AI-powered tool designed to provide accessible mental health support and a convenient channel for those seeking someone to talk to. The innovation received the Outstanding Innovation for Student Development Award at the 2025 Student Development Academic Seminar, organized by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation.
CMU's Mental Health Service Center has also received a Very Good quality assessment from the Department of Mental Health, with certification valid from September 3, 2025, to September 3, 2030. The university has further developed standard operating procedures (SOPs) covering seven areas, including mental health screening, initial counseling, referrals, crisis response, emergency care, risk assessment, and support for people affected by traumatic events.
These efforts are part of a project to strengthen well-being support systems in higher education institutions under the ASEAN University Network–Health Promotion Network (AUN-HPN), supported by the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) from October 2025 to September 2027.
