Students Need More Support in College
Overall, college drop out rates in 2021 reached 15%. And for many students, the reason for this is grief.
Who is Responsible for Student Mental Health?
I know how hard it is to squeeze in a ton of information on subject matter and make sure we are assessing student comprehension. Now we also have to make sure their mental health is OK? Is that too much to ask of professors?
Re-Entry is Hard
So many of us have been working on re-entering the world. We have been paying attention to our own comfort levels as we consider adding more activity and people into our lives. But a whole group of young people are experiencing another level of re-entry: returning home from college.
Support Mapping
Support mapping can be a very useful tool when thinking about your community. It creates a modifiable visual chart to identify support systems. If you are a high school senior, or work with them, a support map may be beneficial to use as you prepare for college. What are some of the supports and systems that could be beneficial for you as you enter into a new environment? If you are already in college, a support map can help you solidify some of the support you already have and help you to identify new ones that you may need.
Grieving While Final(ing)
Stuck right in between Thanksgiving and winter break, in just a few short weeks in the middle of the hustle and bustle of holidays, is the most difficult week or two of the semester. And for students who are grieving a loss, the holidays can be particularly stressful.
Saying Goodbye to your College Student
Here's my advice: Don't follow the advice of other people. Do what feels right for you and your child. Full stop.
