Workshop: Addressing challenging behaviour
In this interactive session, staff members will discuss and learn how they can recognise and manage situations in which students display challenging behaviour and/or mental health problems.
At the end of this session, you will be able to:
- Detect signals that indicate a personal or psychological problem that might influence students’ study progress, including more alarming signals
- Feel more confident about what you can do (seek connection, offering first help, refer to the right care, ).
- Approach a student and engage in a conversation using roadmaps and techniques.
- Recognise pitfalls and challenges.
- Respect your own boundaries.
Instructional methods: lecture, group discussion, quizzes, role play and reflection
Whether you are active as a tutor, course coordinator, mentor, or study advisor, or you fulfil multiple roles, this workshop can offer everyone new insights into challenging behaviour among students.
About the trainers
In these challenging times, student mental health has never been more important. Students might not always have the required skills yet to overcome the challenges they are faced with. Therefore, the UM Psychologists and the UM Wellbeing Movement strive to make students more resilient and provide them with sufficient means to acquire skills that promote well-being during their studies and further in their professional careers and lives. At UM, there are many initiatives, programmes and plans that can contribute to student well-being and at the end of this workshop, we will provide you with an introduction and overview of these ventures. Already interested? A broad range of (online) lectures, workshops and training sessions have been developed for students to develop themselves personally and professionally.

This training takes place on-campus at EDLAB on 9 December 2024 from 13:30-15:30.
