How to Talk with Students in Crisis Situations Source Reference: Le Sueur-Henderson Community Schools, MN Prevention Stage: 1. Continue to be genuinely interested in the emotional health of all students in your classes. Keep yourself psychologically healthy and model self-care to your students (how to work out problems, deal with stress, etc.) 2. Let students know through the respect you show them in class as well as verbally that you are available to listen. You don?t need to have answers, but you do need to listen and empathize with the student as much as you feel you can. Being seen talking with students about non-academics builds up the trust level students have in you and makes it more likely that they will break down barriers that prevent teens from talking about emotional problems t Read More

Responding to a School Crisis: Tips for Educators in Elementary and Secondary Schools By Helen Fitzgerald, CT and Carly Cohen Fox April 26, 2002 The day begins like any other day.

Or a rumor has circulated that a student has taken his or her own life. Or a distraught mother rushed into a classroom and announced that her child's father has been killed in a car accident. Or a father stormed in with a gun to collect his children, whom the s Read More

CMHC Home Page | CMHC's Brochures & Booklets CMHC Home Page CMHC's Brochures & Booklets Students encounter stress for a variety of reasons during the time they attend the university. Academics, family problems, social situations, work, and financial problems are just some of the sources of stress.

The inability to cope effectively with emotional stress poses a serious threat to a student's overall functioning. The expression of interest and concern by a faculty or staff member may be a critical factor in helping a struggling student re-establish the emotional equilibrium necessary for success in a university environment.

Suggestions for Teachers and School Counselors

 Votes:0
Teachers, counselors and classmates make up a child 's "second family." They, too, have strong feelings when a "family member" experiences a death. These guidelines have been prepared by bereaved parents, surviving children, school personnel and professional caregivers in an effort to help those who want to help a child. The Grief of Children Children tend to express grief in their ways of behaving. They act out their feelings and emotions. We cannot always know what they are thinking or feeling. Take cues from their behavior. All children react differently. Withdrawal, aggressiveness, panic, anxiety, anger, guilt, fear, regression and symptoms of bodily distress are all signs of grief. Be patient and understanding. When children are grieving, they have shortened attent Read More
