Well-Being

ISLA Gaia believes that academic success is only truly sustainable when accompanied by emotional, physical and mental balance. Therefore, it considers the well-being of our academic community essential and seeks to promote a set of initiatives and support services that contribute to a healthier and fuller life.

Well-being is not just an area — it is a commitment.

Psychologist and Nutritionist Vouchers

Because taking care of the mind and body is essential, ISLA Gaia has joined the Government's scheme that provides its students with psychologist and nutritionist vouchers, allowing easy access to a range of free consultations with qualified professionals.

These services reinforce Isla's commitment to promoting a healthier and more informed community.

SPIC – Lusófona Psychology and Community Intervention Service

For ongoing, specialised support, Isla students also have access to Lusófona's SPIC, a team of professionals dedicated to psychological health, clinical intervention, counselling and personal development.

SPIC is a key resource for students and staff seeking specialised professional support at affordable prices.

Student Provider

The Student Provider is available to defend the rights, interests and well-being of ISLA Gaia students. Their mission is to ensure that every student has an active voice and is heard in situations that may affect their academic or personal experience.

The Provider acts independently, confidentially and impartially, promoting:

  • Conflict mediation
  • Support in resolving difficulties related to academic progress
  • Defence of well-being and equity in the academic environment

This is another essential pillar in promoting a healthy, safe and student-centred academic environment.
