One reason Milpark has introduced October Health is to encourage students to pause, reflect, and make informed decisions.

“Dropping out, or failing a module, is often the result of countless little decisions – what I call revolving door moments,” says Michael. “Like, not attending a live session, skipping a study day, cramming all night without rest. If October Health helps students come through those moments, it will help them succeed and achieve their goals.”

October Health is designed to fit seamlessly into students’ lives. “Whether it’s a quick check-in, a five-minute meditation, or exploring how nutrition impacts your energy, students can access support 24/7 - when they need it.”

Premium access to October Health is available to all active Milpark students – and up to three of their dependents. “We understand many of our students are working professionals, managing multiple responsibilities and pressures,” says Leon Gazet Du Chattelier CA(SA), Milpark’s Chief People Officer. “October Health is an exciting addition to the holistic support we provide.”

Milpark students already have access to a wide range of support - from academic and administrative help to tech troubleshooting and wellbeing resources. This is offered in real-time (live chats, sessions) and on-demand (online guides, ticket requests) through the Milpark Help Desk – an online platform for admin queries and practical support.

Premium access to October Health adds a dedicated focus onmental, emotional, and physical well-being, complementing Milpark’s academic and administrative support to ensure the whole student is taken into account.

Being an online student brings freedom and flexibility – but can also lead to feeling overwhelmed after hours. October Health is 24/7, providing support when life happens - whether it’s midnight stress or more.

McInerney is excited about the impact it will have: “October Health is grounded in performance psychology – not just crisis support. It empowers students to take small, proactive steps before challenges escalate. From sleep and nutrition to mindset and resilience, October Health helps build habits that protect well-being and help students thrive.”
