Student Mental Health Mentoring

I am sorry but Catalyst East Anglia will not be offering student mental health mentoring during the academic years 2025-7.

 

 

Professional Supervision

What is Professional Supervision?

Professional supervision can be defined as a worker meeting with an independent person who has the experience, knowledge or skills to help you reflect on your work practice so that you can improve the way you help and support others. It is different to the supervision you might receive from your line manager or boss.

Why have Professional Supervision?

Receiving supervision shows you are committed to delivering high quality services, enables you to reflect on your achievements and gain recognition for the valuable work you do, and can help to prevent burnout and provide you with support in your role that you deserve.
Working with people who experience mental health and emotional difficulties can be incredibly rewarding but it can also be challenging and emotionally draining. Having a regular, safe and confidential space where you can discuss your feelings and how you are coping with work place, client and colleague demands can be beneficial for your own health and wellbeing.

 

Initial contact for mentoring or supervision

It is important that you find a mentor/supervisor whom you feel comfortable talking to and working with. This can be done initially either over the phone or face to face. This is an opportunity to ask Beckie any questions and discuss any concerns you might have. Confidentiality issues will also be discussed at this point. If you then decide to pursue mentoring/supervision, at any time afterwards that you do not want Beckie to continue to be your mentor/supervisor, this can be discussed and the sessions can come to an end.
