The centre comprises of two counsellors, a medical nurse and the director, with whom the students can interact and get support for the problems they are facing. Students have free access to their batch counsellors at any time while in the university, or with prior appointments for the convenience of the student and the counsellor. The centre functions from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm on weekdays and 8:30 am to 1 pm on Saturdays.

Counsellors introduce the newly joined students to the system of the university during induction counselling. They brief them about the assessment pattern, dress code, discipline, importance of attendance and also give them information about various centres like CSA and SWO and activities that are conducted throughout the year, like Darpan, Blossoms etc.

The centre collaborates with the academic departments to identify students who are facing problems academically and are performing not well in their internal as well as external assessments. They are helped by providing some remedial work and peer-learning, if needed. At the beginning of each semester, students who have not performed well in the previous semester are called in for a session to understand the problem areas of the student and help them overcome it by providing them with remedial solutions, like time management, making use of timetables, taking help of their teachers by talking to them and informing them about their problem areas. The students are helped to overcome their academic issues in an efficient manner.

Students who have low attendance are met on a fortnight basis by the counsellors and the reasons for low attendance are explored and various intervention strategies are suggested to the student. Students are motivated to attend classes regularly and maintain the required attendance percentage, i.e. 85 percent and above.

The University has three Health Centres in strategically placed locations on campus. These Centres administer prompt first aid and basic health care services on campus, while raising awareness on current and relevant health concerns in and around the CHRIST community. This in turn, enhances the overall productivity of students, teaching and non-teaching staff, by ensuring good health and providing basic medical care. In case of emergencies requiring further care, the patient is promptly transported by the Health Centre team, via university ambulance, to the nearest tertiary care hospital.

The team at CCHS aims to provide a warm and welcoming environment for its foreign students, especially when they have language difficulty or adjustment problem to the new environment. Counsellors also guide them in local etiquette and give them pointers that would help them outside campus, so that they are taken advantage of. Fellowship gatherings are also organized for them so that these students can interact with other fellow foreign students too and network.

Awareness programmes are conducted by the team at CCHS to improve the psycho-social competence of students. Sessions are organized on topics like Addictions, HIV-AIDS, Reproductive Health, Dengue to provide an open platform for students to share their opinions and experiences. It helps them to be equipped with better skills for adaptive behaviour.

Informative sessions for awareness about the COVID-19 was conducted by our nurse Ms. Albina to help the people working in our university understand the virus and ways to protect ourselves.
