Anonymous Students
For me, mental health and wellbeing are paramount for the success of our valued students. The well-being of our students determines how they can handle stress, relate to others, and make good and healthy choices. I support students' mental health by continuously offering one-on-one mentoring sessions. My teaching philosophy implies that all students should be treated equally. This includes feedback sessions at the start and at the end of my classes to better understand what the main issues are that may cause their anxiety. I encourage students to seek help through Student Wellness Services and Student Accommodations, and I am working closely with students who suffer from anxiety or other mental health issues. We should all work together and help our valued students to understand that mental health is health and recovery is expected.
