The mental wellbeing of college students is becoming a major source of concern for higher education administrators, faculty, and staff. One in four young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 have a diagnosable mental illness and frequently college staff are the first to notice the warning signs.
When front-line faculty and staff encounter such a student, they could feel:
- scared (“This is way too much for me to handle.”)
- disengaged (“That’s not my job.”)
- confused (“Why is the student acting this way?”)
Have you ever felt like you didn’t know what to say when faced with a student who is exhibiting signs of burnout or high levels of stress? Even if you’re not a counselor, you can make a difference in the lives of these students by adopting appropriate communication strategies.
Learning Objectives:
- Paraphrasing
- Empathy
- Feedback
