*Learning Institution* protocols for assisting distressed students: Essentials course
Teaching and professional staff are often the first to respond in times when study and life have overwhelmed a student. To assist, we have created this course to build staff confidence in responding to students in distress in a way that respects the boundaries of their role.
Before you get started
In this course you’ll be completing 3 modules covering
-
- Student distress and your role,
- Responding to student distress, and
- Looking after yourself
Distress can be a sensitive topic for staff. Please consider whether now is the right time for you to be completing the course. Remember you can exit or pause the course at any time. *Learning Institution HR Contact and Employee Assistance Program, or similar staff supports* are available if you require further support.
