Professors and Mental Health Response
TLDR on the bottom. TW for ablelist peers and mentions of mental health issues.
So, this semester I have a group project. It's my final class before I graduate in May this year. My group leader started to act ablelist towards me- calling my mental health issues and emergency surgery and PTSD and post-op depression "personal problems" even though I had letters from my Psychiatrist written to my professor to explain that I am struggling with day-to-day life so to excuse late assignments. My group leader criticized me for doing a "bad job" on a report I was expected to turn in Monday and said I was "sassing" her when I tried to explain that I literally just had surgery on Thursday before and came home Friday night.
I put up with it, trying to get my part of the work done alone, because when I tried to reach out for help in the group chat, I was ignored. And then after class one day, she insisted I get all my late work done in two days, which I tried to tell her it was my soft deadline and that four days was my hard deadline, since I needed to be kinder to myself due to my health becoming worse. She said no, two days and that was final. "We all have our personal problems."
I came up to a fellow student I know fairly well to ask what I should do in this kind of situation, knowing he also had disabilities. He immediately convinced me to talk to my professor. He helped me through that, and the professor promised to talk to my group leader the next day.
Cue a week later. I get an email from my professor, telling me he wanted a one-on-one meeting. My anxiety surged. Oh no...am I in trouble? Did my group leader lie and tell him I was being ridiculous?
But I was wrong. He told me he was so worried when he had heard how horrible I was referring to myself during our conversation the week before. That without mentioning my name, he talked to the university counselors for advice. I reassured him I have a therapist and psychiatrist working with me, and that my negative self-talk is a work in progress.
The point is guys, this is how all professors should react to alarming symptoms of mental health. My professor did everything right. He contacted professionals of the university without saying my name at first, immediately had a private meeting with me, and now is helping me by working with me on due dates and making sure my group members treat me fairly.
Once again guys, it's important to fight for the right to be treated fairly. You have a right to be treated like a human being and get the accommodations you need.
TLDR; My professor saw alarming mental health symptoms, and acted respectfully with professionals and is working with me to make sure I succeed. He is a great example of what should be expected.
I now have more hope in humanity.

UK citizens and residents, consider adding your signature and sharing this petition to create a statutory legal duty of care for students in Higher Education. 100 student lives are lost each year to suicide and numerous failings have been highlighted in universities' handling of student mental health.

Our location in College Hill puts us right in the middle of many high schools and universities. All of the therapists at PVD Psychological Associates have expertise and a special interest in working with children, older adolescents, and adults at various stages in their education and/or careers in academia. Some adolescents we see are struggling to manage their symptoms of ADHD and associated frustration while others are navigating a high pressure private preparatory school experience and need help with perfectionism, anxiety, stress management, and being achievement-oriented at the expense of all else. We also work with college students and graduate students, as well as with faculty in academia.

In the life of a student, the issue of mental health often goes unnoticed until it results in burnout, leading to fatigue, cynicism, and a significant drop in academic performance. This silent epidemic affects many students, making recognizing signs such as persistent fatigue, lack of motivation, and a feeling of inefficacy is crucial. Addressing mental health involves not only acknowledging these signs but also actively seeking solutions to mitigate their impact.

The Role Of Teachers In Fostering Mental Health For Kids | Solh Wellness
Focusing on mental health is essential in educational settings because it not only enhances students' current wellbeing but also provides the foundation for their future success. For students who are in good mental health, academic performance, self-esteem, and interpersonal ties all increase. Additionally, promoting mental health in the classroom fosters a safe and supportive atmosphere that gives students more confidence to ask for assistance when they need it.
Teachers play a significant part in the growth of children's mental health. They are particularly qualified to help because of their frequent interactions and in-depth familiarity with the problems facing kids. By promoting a pleasant learning environment in the classroom, teachers can help students develop a sense of identity, emotional stability, and trust. They can offer guidance, lend a sympathetic ear, and help kids get through challenges.
Tumblr media
Some tactics educators can employ to encourage safeguarding children's mental health include the ones listed below:
Cultivating a Supportive Classroom Environment:
Teachers have the authority to establish a friendly, secure learning environment that supports students' mental health. When students experience emotional security and a sense of belonging, they are more comfortable asking for assistance and discussing their difficulties. Promoting mental health requires teachers and students to develop trusting, compassionate connections.
To foster a nurturing classroom environment, teachers can:
Set clear expectations: Teachers establish a regulated and predictable atmosphere that gives children a sense of safety by setting clear expectations for conduct and respect.
Encourage inclusiveness: Respecting diversity and creating an environment where each and every student is valued and welcomed. Encourage kids to value and accept their uniqueness in order to create a welcome environment.
Encourage open communication: Allow them to voice their thoughts, worries, and emotions. By carefully listening to their thoughts and feelings, you may create a friendly environment that encourages open discussion.
Integrate mindfulness practices:In order to assist students manage their stress and better understand themselves, provide mindfulness techniques like deep breathing or brief guided meditation.
Recognising and Addressing Student Mental Health:
Indicators of mental illness, such as alterations in behavior, mood, or academic performance, should alert teachers to the problem. Active listening and effective communication enable children to discuss their issues in a secure setting.
Common symptoms include:
perpetual gloom or sadness.
alterations to eating or sleeping patterns.
not being able to finish tasks or concentrate.
a lack of interaction with others.
There is more annoyance or hostility.
School achievement has decreased.
Teachers should speak with students on an individual basis, show empathy, and offer support. However, educators must be aware of their duties and, when appropriate, provide pupils with access to mental health resources.
Peer Support and Collaboration Promotion:
Giving children the opportunity to work together and receive assistance from their peers can significantly improve their mental health. To create a classroom community where students feel included and not alone in their concerns, teachers may encourage activities that foster empathy, understanding, and collaboration among their students.
Following are some suggestions for fostering collaboration and peer support:
Cooperative learning and group projects: Give students cooperative assignments that require cooperation, and encourage them to lend a hand when it's needed.
Peer mentoring initiatives: Develop mentoring programs that connect older and younger students to provide a forum for peer support and guidance.
Create support networks: To share ideas and offer support, encourage students to start clubs or study groups. This allows them to establish support systems. Students' resilience and coping skills are strengthened by this sense of belonging.
Curriculum Inclusion of Mental Health Education:
It is essential to incorporate mental health education into the curriculum to improve students' awareness of their own mental health. The instruction of subjects like emotional control, self-worth, resilience, and stress management equips students with the abilities necessary to handle challenges in life. A few suggestions for including mental health education are as follows:
Designated Mental Health Lessons: For SEL or health curricula, specific lessons should be developed for mental health education.
Cross-Disciplinary Approach:To make learning more thorough, integrate mental health themes into a range of subjects. Examine how mental health is portrayed in literature and the arts, or how stress affects the body.
Special Guests:  By collaborating with regional mental health specialists, invite knowledgeable and experienced speakers.
Conclusion
In order to improve children's immediate wellbeing and establish the framework for their future success, schools must give mental health a high priority. By fostering inclusive classroom environments that foster a sense of belonging and emotional safety, teachers—who act as their students' primary teachers—can help to support their mental health. They are able to spot the early warning signs of mental health problems, offer sympathetic support, and promote peer cooperation, all of which help to create a safe and encouraging learning environment. Additionally, including mental health education in the curriculum gives children valuable life skills. Due to this, teachers may encourage students to prioritize their mental health, paving the way for happier and more fruitful futures.

🎀 Hobbies 🎀
I feel as tho I don't have much time to do things besides school, work, some chores, and survive right now, but I've been thinking about some hobbies I enjoy and would like to incorporate into my life when I decide to make the time without burning out!
Reading - I used to be big on reading just about any books I could get my hands on. Then I was really focused on reading self help, and now that I haven't been reading at all, I've been thinking about getting back into reading. Always looking for book recommendations, and I do have my eye on some books I'd like to purchase.
Gardening - if I had the time and space, I'd love to have a flower garden or a vegetable garden. It always makes me happy when the fruits of my efforts come to life, so tending to plants and gardening sounds super fun and relaxing.
Video Games - I used to play video games on and off, but I wouldn't mind owning a PS4 or a Switch and spending some time playing video games whenever I'd want time to wind down.
Cooking/Baking - I love learning things, and the sense of pride I've gotten in the past when receiving praise for things I've cooked or baked has really driven me to want to increase my skill. I've only baked something from scratch once in my life, but I'd really like to expand my skills in making desserts.
Exercise - I'm talking all forms of it! Dancing, martial arts/kickboxing type activities, yoga, pilates, running, swimming, spin/cycling, weight lifting (again), calisthenics, all of it! I don't currently look like the exercise type but I find various forms of movement to be so fun! If I had more time, I'd be trying new things all the time!
Volunteer work - This is something I used to do all the time, and it's a hobby that I enjoyed that kept me humble. Not only that, but I thoroughly enjoy showing kindness and compassion to others. Making a difference in anuwau brings me so much joy, and I love meeting new people and learning their stories. I also would love to volunteer with animals, because they deserve so much love and affection too!
Drawing/Art - I used to draw for fun but when I started college, I didn't have the time to devote to continuously increasing my art skills. I still own a sketch kit, coloring materials, and several sketchbooks so it really is a matter of having time.
Crochet - The thought of making things that I can gift to others seriously makes me so excited!! Crochet seems like such a fun, crafty, relaxing activity and the added fun of gifting those crafts to others would make it so fun!!
Scrapbooking - I don't know if I'd ever do this one, but I do Ike the idea of keeping my memories in a physical space, and not just in like pictures on my phone.
Learning - if school wasn't crazy busy, I'd spend all my time learning languages (ASL, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Italian, etc), computer coding skills, how to make and do certain things, just anything I can do to keep my mind enriched.
Upcycling/Altering Clothes - I would love to upcycle or alter articles of clothes into more personalized pieces for myself. The thought of having a personalized, hand made closet full of clothes makes me really want to buy a sewing machine and learn how to use it to my advantage!
That's all I can think of for now that I'd like to someday incorporate into my life. Having hobbies is always so fun, but I've been so busy and tired that I don't mess with any of the hobbies I'd want to do. If anyone has any tips for time management, or resources for beginning new hobbies, please let me know!!
til next time lovelies 🩷
