Students' mental health needs: problems and responses. Students, throughout their educational journey, can experience challenges to their mental health. This is a situation potentially amplified when finally reaching higher education with accompanying pressures. Higher education often fosters environments, in which achievement is highly valued - outcome curricula, typically encourages competitive and perfectionist cultures. Considerable strain on personal resources, can result in periods of imbalances in wellbeing - sometimes unrecognised, overlooked or, at worst, viewed with judgement. Educational staff require specific training regarding the emotional health of learners and student services adequately resourced. This book edited by Nicky Stanley and colleagues, makes a case for appropriate responses to learners' emotional needs. https://lnkd.in/eukfevUi
