Workshop - Managing Students in Distress
Middlesex University, Wednesday 7 September
Join us for this highly engaging workshop uses innovative, immersive interactive theatre to explore how personal tutors can manage situations in which they encounter distressed students. The workshop explores the causes of distress (academic, placement, personal, etc) and offers practical strategies for managing situations involving distressed students, including urgent and emergency cases which require immediate support from other services within the institution.
Previous participants have told us:
"This workshop should be mandatory training for all personal tutors. It was highly relevant and useful to the role and will really enable me to be more effective when working with students in distress."
"I wish I had attended this workshop when I first became a personal tutor. It is the most relevant and well-delivered training I have experienced since beginning work in HE more than 10 years ago."
The workshop is open to member and non-members alike. UKAT Members and staff of member institutions receive a discount on the registration fee.
