Universitas Padjadjaran has a concern for supporting underrepresented groups, which aims to handle students who have problems, especially those of a non-academic nature, carried out by counsellor lecturers who are members of the Faculty/Study Program Guidance and Counseling Team or can be referred to the University Guidance and Counseling Team. The University level has a Center for Character Strengthening and Counseling (P2K2). P2K2 was established to help students optimize their potential in facing academic and social environments and physical and mental health issues through a character-strengthening and counselling scheme that is preventive-interventive, curative, and promotive. P2K2 generally has two main activities: encouraging the strengthening of the character of Unpad students or JATIDIRI Unpad and providing free psychological services for the Universitas Padjadjaran community, including students, lecturers, and staff.

In 2024, Universitas Padjadjaran, through its Off-Campus Study Program (PSDKU) in Pangandaran, strengthened its support for underrepresented and vulnerable groups by organizing a hybrid capacity-building and counselling-oriented socialization on the prevention and handling of sexual violence. Attended by the entire academic community of PSDKU, the programme served as a mentoring and awareness platform to equip students, staff, and faculty with knowledge, coping strategies, and clear reporting mechanisms. The session featured the Chair of the University’s Sexual Violence Prevention and Handling Task Force (Satgas PPKS), Dr. Antik Bintari, who provided practical guidance, addressed participants’ concerns, and encouraged peer support in fostering a safe campus climate. Through interactive discussions, participants were able to seek advice, share experiences, and strengthen collective vigilance. This initiative demonstrates Unpad’s ongoing commitment to ensuring accessible support systems for groups at higher risk of marginalisation, and to creating an inclusive, safe, and responsive academic environment.
