The Support Center for Students at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, which has been recently activated, is focused on the implementation of various programs for pedagogical and psychological support. These programs have the aim to preserve and improve student’s mental health in order to achieve their academical results.

Results showed that the students recognized the importance of this Center, and benefits which this Center can provide to them. However, the results suggests that it is necessary to work more on the promotion of the Center, as well as on the motivation of students to get involved in its activities. Therefore, the last segment of this paper contains the implications which show possibilities of how to improve work of the Support Center for Students at the Faculty of Philosophy, and how to improve its very important pedagogical-advisory area.
