Support Well, Stay Well: training for staff at London universities

New, free training for university staff - designed to better support your students' mental health whilst also pritoritising your own.
About this Event

London Nightline has been supporting student mental health for 55 years, and we are pleased to offer a new training opportunity to support the Higher Education community.

The Support Well, Stay Well session aims to:

• give every member of student-facing staff the confidence to better support the students they work with
• teach you the fundamentals of active listening and communication skills to make a student feel heard and understood
• give you the confidence to listen without trying to 'solve' a student's problems or worry about saying 'the right thing'
• help understand and manage the impact that student mental health support can take on the staff member too
• embed techniques to prioritise your own wellbeing, reduce overwhelm and burnout

This training is available to staff from universities, student unions and halls of residences across London, in any student-facing role. Examples include: reception teams, student experience coordinators, lecturers, teaching assistants etc. If you are unsure about the suitability of this session or want further information please email [email protected].

This training is part of the Stay Project, a London-wide initiative to support the supporters and reduce suicides. For more information please click here.
