This short guidance module provides an overview of the skills and knowledge on how to best listen and respond to any concerns about a student’s mental health and wellbeing at LSE.

Although the focus here is on student wellbeing, much of the information is applicable to supporting friends, peers and colleagues across the LSE community.

This guidance is part of a wider commitment to equipping staff to best support the mental health and wellbeing of students. It will help you be more effective in dealing with difficult situations, preserving time and your own wellbeing in the long run.
