  4. Working with Students in Distress FAQs: School-Life Balance

School-Life Balance:

  • How can I reduce academic stress for students? 
  • How do I find the right balance between appropriate academic expectations and empathy for students?
  • My student told me they are homeless (without food, do not have internet access, can't afford textbooks, has an unmet health need, has a family member in crisis, lost their job and insurance, etc.). They haven't asked for help. How can I support them?
