Supporting students who are stressed

The better we know our students the easier it will be to notice when they might be experiencing stress.  Look for signs that the student just isn’t quite their normal self.  Sometimes there can be physical signs that a student is stressed.  Some of those signs might be withdrawal from people or activities, quicker than normal or stronger than normal emotional reactions, or high levels of worry or nervousness.  If you notice a student seems to be stressed, take a few minutes and listen to what is on their mind.  Giving students a chance to verbalize everything that is weighing on them and being there as someone who will listen is a great first step.  When you listen, free yourself from all distractions and give the student your undivided attention so they know, without a doubt, that you are listening fully to what they are sharing with you.
               

Rephrase and Reassure:
After you listen fully, take a moment to rephrase what the student just shared with you.  You can infer a lot about what is troubling the student by not only listening to the words they are saying but also paying attention to their tone, body language, and emotion as they share.  When you rephrase back to them what they have said to you, include some of the emotions you believe they are feeling so they know they have been heard.  Don’t worry if you misread their emotion.  End you’re rephrasing with a prompt that lets the student reiterate or correct what you have stated.
Tips to Tackle Stress
If a student is open to hearing some tips for tackling their stress, share some strategies that have worked for you. Something that has always worked for me is to write down everything I need to get done.  Once I have written it down, I can prioritize what needs to get finished and make a plan for addressing the items I am not going to get completed on time.  For students, this might be making a list of all the school work they need to do, prioritizing what they can get done with the time they have, and then making a plan to address the items they are not going to be able to complete by the deadline.  
Student stress: self-help tips
  • Signs you might be stressed 
  • Professional help for student stress
  • Things that can help with stress 
Leaving home to start your studies can involve some stressful changes. These might include moving to a new area, meeting new people and managing on a tight budget.
1) Cultivate positive connections between staff members.
2) create a wellness group for teachers—but keep it optional.
3) Start each staff meeting with a wellness practice.

Six tactics to help your students deal with stress
1. Improve understanding
Stress is a big part of normal daily life. It is a challenge we all face, and the body’s natural response to a threat or danger.
2. Teach the science
 Knowing the science can help normalise what students are experiencing and help diminish the stigma around mental health.
3. Encourage mistakes
Our brain develops when we make and think about a mistake. It is an integral part of the learning process, but many students are terrified of slipping up. So it’s important we show them that failing isn’t necessary a bad thing.
4. Don’t pass the pressure on
It’s important that we refrain from passing on any of our own stress, and that we encourage a positive mindset in our students.
5. Practice mindfulness
Mindfulness is thought to have many benefits for adults and children alike. At a school in the US, detention has been replaced with mindful meditation - the results have been significant with improved attendance and behaviour
6. Look after yourself
The 2015 Education Sector Health Survey showed that 84% of participants who worked in education had suffered from some form of mental health problem in the last two years. Of those, 77% experienced stress, 60% anxiety and 38% depression.
