Course Outline:
As the school calendar approaches exam season for most students studying in the UK, practitioners can expect to see an increase in signs and indicators of stress and anxiety in the students in their care. This is no different for international students. In fact, the stress may be felt more keenly as our international students are geographically further removed from their family and home support network but can also be subject to different academic pressures and attitudes to mental health.
This webinar will encourage practitioners to support students with their personal stress management, and modelling time management and self-care suggestions that all can use.
Training topics will include:
- Spotting the signs of stress and indicators that students aren’t managing
- Understanding the specific needs of international students
- Practical stress management techniques
- Fostering a sense of community and belonging and promoting resilience.
Learning outcomes:
- Increased understanding of pressures faced by international students
- Clear signs and indicators of stress in students
- Practical strategies to support students with stress management and methods to model and share with students to promote independence and resilience.
