Building Student Resilience Health and Wellbeing TSN September 2022

Students have increasingly been struggling to withstand the pressures of tertiary education without specialist wellbeing support as evidenced by increased demand for student support services. However, in some cases students stress response to academic pressure is normal. It's lack of support for developing resilience skills that is preventing them from managing this stress in a way cohesive with wellbeing. 

Our online September topic support network aimed to explore how institutions can build student resilience and the emerging stories from the sector. 

The recording is aimed at all staff, particularly those with a role in supporting staff and student wellbeing.
