Staff supporting students Mental Health Toolkit
Provide relevant information and referrals
- Sometimes listening to the student’s concerns is all that is required.
- Other times, they may appreciate help to identify their short-term goal, initial plan and first step.
- What’s their hope and priority at this point?
- What strength, skills and supports have been useful to them in the past?
- Provide relevant information to assist them to generate solutions.
- Make appropriate referrals and signpost key contacts and services.
