"The consultant does not solve, but accompanies. He does not diagnose, but he detects. It does not replace the expert, but brings the learner closer to the help he needs."explains SMART Center. Among the issues addressed are anxiety, depression, academic pressure, substance abuse and other challenges faced by young people.
In addition, SMART Center has established referral pathways and interdepartmental networks to ensure that students receive appropriate care.

Both trainings reflect Universidad Panamericana 's mission to form leaders with a human sense. Advisors not only fulfill an academic function, but also become key allies for the integral development of students.
