What is Specialist Mentoring?

---

Specialist mentoring supports students in Higher Education. It strives to help students to achieve their full potential at University while also mitigating the impact their mental health condition might have on them.  

Mentors support students to keep on track with their academic studies  by helping them to identify the impact of their condition upon their learning and to develop effective study strategies. 

Some common areas which mentors may support students with are:

• Stress management
• Procrastination
• Perfectionism
• Assertiveness and communication
• Planning and organisation

If eligible, students can apply for Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) to fund this support.
