Have you ever wondered where to draw the line with students or struggled to say no when a student asks for more than you can give?

You are not alone! Setting clear boundaries can be challenging, especially when the lines between educator, mentor, and friend start to blur.

What happens when your student is experiencing distress beyond the classroom?

Knowing how to be supportive while maintaining appropriate boundaries can help you navigate these difficult moments and connect students with the right resources.

In this session, you will learn:

  • How to set and communicate healthy boundaries with students
  • How to respond when students are experiencing distress
  • When and where to refer students for additional support
