自我保健
Self-care is critical to maintaining a healthy relationship with yourself and your 周围的环境. Self-care includes any activity that promotes the wellbeing of your 精神，身体或灵魂. Students often struggle to prioritize self-care due to feeling high pressure to accomplish as many things as possible, and tend to feel guilty for taking breaks from their studies and work. In reality, engaging in proper self-care helps students to have higher levels of motivation, increased focus, more positive attitudes, and higher levels of success and fulfillment. 当你和学生交流时， encourage them to regularly engage in self-care activities. 以身作则，分享 with them how you prioritize self-care in your own life. 你甚至可以考虑创造 an assignment about self-care, or including weekly self-care activities in class discussions.

Active listening and simply being there is often most effective in assisting the student. 干预的另一个关键方面 is to determine how urgent the situation seems to be. 如果学生看起来很严肃 disoriented or incoherent, or if the situation appears imminently life-threatening, please call 911 immediately and 联系 校园安全. 这里有一些有效的建议 engaging with students who may be in distress:

- Express your concerns directly and honestly
- Listen carefully and attentively, avoiding interruptions and asking too many questions
- 表现出真诚的关心和兴趣
- Reflect back the essence of what the student has told you
- 避免批评或判断
- Ask about their current support systems, and validate any work, thought, or effort that they have already put in to examining or addressing the problem
