Summary:

This How to Guide will provide readers with information and insights which will better equip them to support law students in a higher education setting. Featuring contributions from an array of eminent academics and student support professionals, this book includes personal reflections, example scenarios and practical tips for those seeking to improve support for student wellbeing. How to Offer Effective Wellbeing Support to Law Studentsdiscusses issues that impact wellbeing from a variety of perspectives including distance learning, the influence of sex and gender on the provision of pastoral support, and the challenges of providing wellbeing support at the same time as maintaining personal wellbeing. Written in an informative yet accessible style, chapters provide strategies to work with law students in a supportive capacity while integrating wellbeing as a core component of day-to-day teaching. Ultimately this How to Guide concludes that although wellbeing support varies between universities, there are universal traits and frameworks throughout that can encourage more effective and tailored welfare assistance. This will be an excellent resource for early career researchers and more established academics in the field of law who undertake teaching and supervisory responsibilities. It will also be of interest to student support professionals as they seek to improve their techniques when working with law students.-- Provided by publisher.
