Join us for an engaging online session focused on supporting student wellbeing, with an emphasis on mental health. This event will explore practical ways for educators to support students balance study, life and work and maintain overall wellbeing. The aim is to build staff confidence in recognising early signs of distress and knowing how to respond appropriately. Hear from organisations working directly with young people and diverse communities, each sharing insights and strategies in short, focused discussions.
Topics will include:
- Supporting students manage the demands of study, work, and everyday life
- Supporting learners through anxiety, stress, and burnout
- How teachers, lecturers and support staff can recognise the early indicators of mental health concerns and support students
- Informed use of AI for mental health wellbeing
- Accessing culturally appropriate youth support services
- Referral pathways and professional boundaries
- Supporting financial wellbeing
Each presenter will deliver a 20-minute discussion, offering practical takeaways and opportunities to connect with support services.
