Staff supporting students Mental Health Toolkit
Closing the consultation
- Summarise the student’s plan, and next step as well as what you will do.
- Clearly reiterate any important information and offer written material to take away.
- Decide whether you need to follow up with the student about their progress and negotiate arrangements. For example, catch up after next tutorial, student to email you in two weeks.
- Normalise the student’s concerns, resourcefulness and help-seeking.
- Don’t hesitate to consult colleagues for advice and debriefing.
