For Those Concerned About a Student in Distress
如果你在博彩网址大全或工作,你可能会遇到有心理健康需求的学生. 你可以采取一些步骤来帮助他们,并将他们推荐给有用的资源.
识别学生处于困境的警告信号并不需要特殊的训练 or expertise. It does, however, require an awareness of symptoms. Not everyone will 直接指出哪里出了问题,但语言和行为往往会这样做. Look for changes in the following areas:
Withdrawal
- Shows up for an event or class but leaves early
- Makes excuses to avoid social opportunities
- Doesn't seem to connect with others
- Skips class frequently
- Stays in room or bed all day
- Avoids eye-contact
Troubling Communications
- Intends to harm self or someone else
- Expresses a hopeless or negative outlook
- Blames self or others for mood/behavior
- Speaks in a confused or disorganized way
Major Changes in Mood or Behavior
- 表现出焦虑、沮丧、“退房”、紧张或不安
- Neglects personal hygiene or appearance
- Increased use of alcohol or drugs
- Significant weight gain or loss
- Increased sleep or inability to sleep nearly every day
- Decreased ability to concentrate
Don't be afraid to ask "What's wrong?" or "What's going on?" Simply asking the question won't create a problem where there isn't one. Don't underestimate the importance of listening. 不用做任何其他事情,你就是在提供可能有所帮助的支持 一个学生感到被倾听和理解,也许是第一次. Face-to-face communication is best, when possible, but any (e.g. email, text) communication is better than none.
- Be attentive
- Pay attention to verbal and non-verbal language
- Convey an accepting attitude (e.g., try not to judge or dismiss the person)
Express concern in a calm, non-judgmental way. Provide words of empathy and normalize their difficulties. 让学生知道你是为他们而存在的 will help connect them with the proper support.
给他们空间和时间来分享他们的感受,而不是告诉他们“停止哭泣”。 or that “this isn’t a big deal”. Instead use phrases such as, “ It is okay for you 分享和表达你的感受”,“我能看出你正在经历一段艰难的时期”, 或者“我很担心你,觉得你可能需要一些额外的支持。”.
请记住,与正常生活事件作斗争并不总是需要咨询. However, if the situation is causing a severe reaction (e.g. the student seems to (正在走下坡路或功能不正常)或者已经持续了超过 一周或两周,然后转介到咨询可能是合适的.
