Wellness Secretariat <strong>USM</strong> (SWS)<br />

In accordance with its existence, the ‘SWS’ is fully responsible for enhancing the wellbeing<br />

of the campus staff. Hopefully, the SWS would be able to organize several proactive<br />

programmes and activities which could propell a healthy environment amongst the<br />

staff members and their families. Among the objectives of SWS are character building<br />

and assisting the staff should they face any difficulties or problems in the most effective<br />

manner i.e.; through a “self-assistance programme” which consist of counseling activity,<br />

mentoring and peer group assistance so that resource could be uplifted to the optimum<br />

standard befitting the needs of the university and the government.<br />

In conjunction with the above mentioned statement, several staff motivational activities<br />

such as ‘self character building’, workshop, youth health camp, healthy family programme<br />

and counseling sessions are held. Presently, programmes such as ‘Kunjung Bantu’ and<br />

Enhancing English Communication Skills for Special Purposes are well received by the<br />

participants. Future programmes are to highlight outstanding participants for all their<br />

round performance. The ‘Kunjung Bantu’ and Enhancing English Communication Skills<br />

Programmes which are in currently progress are commanding the most popular and<br />

positive response from the PTJs and their staff.<br />

As the name suggests ’Kunjung Bantu’ is a ’Problem Buster’ i.e; it addreses any problem<br />

that might occur involving PTJs in the university. ’Kunjung Bantu’ started in mid-July<br />

and is still ongoing in assisting staff members to overcome their feelings of uneasiness<br />

towards the surrounding in terms of the distribution of task in their daily lives. Today,<br />

the ’Kunjung Bantu’ programme receives very favourable responses from the participants<br />

and this helps to overcome any misgivings that might arise. God willing, this programme<br />

will continue to be one of the means to solve the nagging problems facing staff.<br />
