A 25 minute online webinar from Richard Daniel Curtis, founder of the Association and The Root Of It talking about the role of Social and Emotional Mentors in schools and colleges.
About 2% of schools and colleges in the country use social and emotional mentors to address the underlying skills that contribute towards mental health difficulties and problems with engagement and attainment. Here, Richard talks about the role of Social and Emotional Mentors in schools and colleges.
Social and Emotional Mentors in schools and colleges play a vital role in nurturing students’ holistic development. They provide a safe and confidential space for young people to explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and enhance essential life skills like self-awareness, empathy, and resilience. Mentors offer individualised support, helping students navigate academic pressures, social challenges, and personal difficulties. By fostering positive relationships and teaching effective communication, these mentors empower students to build self-confidence, manage stress, and make informed decisions, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being and academic success. They act as a crucial bridge between students’ personal lives and their educational journey.
