Workshop: Stress & Anxiety among students
Academic staff close to the students can have a significant impact on the well-being of students. In this workshop, you’ll get tools to help students struggling with several anxiety problems.
The study period is for most students – at least to some extent – a stressful period. Stress and anxiety can be normal and even functional. But as a staff member, it can be of utmost importance to know about the signs of dysfunctional or unhealthy stress and anxiety. In this workshop, you’ll get tools to deal with this, even more, to help prevent severe anxiety problems. Academic staff close to the students can have a significant impact on the well-being of students.
At the end of this session, you will be able to:
- Get insight into the concepts of stress and anxiety, with their underlying processes and causes
- Provide a listening ear and have a talk with the student about his struggle with stress or anxiety
- Guide the student towards appropriate actions that prevent stress- and anxiety problems from worsening
Whether you are acting as a tutor, course coordinator, mentor, or study advisor or you fulfil multiple roles, this workshop can offer everyone new insights into stress and anxiety 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. 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 so that students can develop themselves personally and professionally. Check out the complete offer: www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/student-wellbeing
