情绪困扰

应对情绪 困扰学生

As a member of the University community, you have ongoing and direct contact with students. This places you in a position to identify students who are struggling with personal and/or academic concerns. How involved you want to be in the student's problems will likely depend on how you see your role in the University, 你的训练, 你的经验, 还有你的个性. 这些指导方针, 您对可用服务的了解, and your awareness of your personal attributes can help you become more comfortable with determining when and how you wish to intervene with students.

所有的学生都会经历不同程度的压力. Some will face life events that are especially challenging such as:

  • 关系中的重大变化
  • 亲近的人的死亡
  • 家庭危机
  • 身体上的疾病

其他国家将面临以下挑战:

  • 焦虑
  • 抑郁症
  • 自杀的念头
  • 愤怒
  • 物质使用
  • 精神病

How students respond to these challenges and how these challenges impact their academic functioning will vary greatly based on their coping abilities and personal circumstances.

If you encounter a student experiencing emotional distress, please 将他们转介给CARE团队 请求支持.
