Wellbeing of the school's students, participants and staff
Our Health & Well-Being service offer
emlyon business school provides health and well-being services with the input of a medical social team, a helpline and a psychological support service, a support system against discriminations and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence, with prevention and participatory actions for health promotion and disease prevention all throughout the academic year.
Health and Well-Being Center – APICIL
Since 2016, emlyon business school has developed a health and well-being offer for students: the Health and Well-Being Center – APICIL.
The mission of the Health and Well-Being Center, supported by APICIL, is to provide free healthcare prevention and promotion for students (via consultations) in total respect of confidentiality.
Available on all our campuses in France, the Center regroups a multidisciplinary team made of several nurses, a prevention doctor, a psychologist, a referring disability advisor and a coordinator for prevention actions and well-being workshops.
A helpline and psychological support service
In addition to the psychologist that students can consult face-to-face or remotely, there are two free helplines available for all students:
- A helpline for confidential psychological support, open 24/7.
- A nightline students can call anonymously and in total confidentiality.
Staff members of emlyon business school can also access this free helpline and psychological support online platform in total confidentiality.
A medical & social team
Nurses will see students from all campuses either face-to-face or remotely, with or without appointment. Not only can they provide physical and/or mental health-related information, but they can also handle primary care, vaccination or emergencies.
A prevention general practitioner also operates on the campus in Ecully one half-day a week. His mission is to manage and follow up students with medical and psychological difficulties previously identified by the nurses, and students with disabilities.
The medical social team works in close cooperation with the Disability Unit, particularly for the establishment of the management plans for students with disabilities.
Workshops and conferences
Actions for health prevention and promotion are provided all year round. Resources are provided, workshops, conferences, group talks co-hosted with partner health providers are organized mainly about addictions, sexuality and disabilities.
Provisions to fight against discriminations and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence
The School is also firmly engaged in the fight against discriminations and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV). This approach shows notably in the creation of a protocol and an online report platform: speakup.emlyon.com. These provisions are available to the whole emlyon community (students, participants, staff and professors). The protocol engages a network of referring contacts (Health and Well-Being Center, HR, Legal Department).
