Synopsis

The REAL University Challenge: Helping students to thrive.

As a tutor you want to help students to flourish not only academically but in all aspects of their university lives: mentally, emotionally, physically, socially and spiritually. But with students reporting stress and anxiety at an all-time high, and academic staff under more pressure than ever before, you could use some help. In this new, post-pandemic edition of the classic guide, Fabienne Vailes reveals how you can help your students develop a ‘tool box’ of techniques to support good mental health that will support them through university and beyond, and ensure your own wellbeing at the same time. She finishes with thoughts on how universities can implement simple changes that support resilience at an institutional, not just an individual level.
