Live webinar on Monday, 16th November 2020, 1-2pm.
This webinar, also presented by Julie Rea, picks up where the first webinar ends, and focuses on working with students who are presenting at a higher level of risk. We will reflect on the differences between the role of a clinical practitioner and a mentor when it comes to responding to students at risk. We will also consider the importance of knowing when we have done enough for a student, and on some of the ways we can respond effectively when a student does indicate risk. Some of the usual ways in which we seek advice ourselves about a high-risk student – such as liaising with colleagues in other teams or with external services – may also be a little trickier at the moment, and we will explore what this means for us in our day-to-day work. For those colleagues in clinical roles, we will consider some of the potential challenges when conducting mental health assessments remotely.
