The Flourishing Student - 2nd Edition: A Practical Guide to Promote Mental Fitness, Wellbeing and Resilience in Higher Education - Paperback

by Fabienne Vailes (Author), Jenny Hill (Foreword by)

The REAL University Challenge: Helping students to become flourishing life-long learners.

As a tutor you want to help students to flourish not only academically but in all aspects of their university lives: mentally, emotionally, physically, socially and spiritually. But with students reporting stress and anxiety at an all-time high, and academic staff under more pressure than ever before, you could use some help.

In this new, post-pandemic edition of the classic guide, Fabienne Vailes reveals how you can help your students develop a 'tool box' of well-being techniques that will support them through university and beyond, and ensure your own well-being at the same time. She finishes with thoughts on how universities can implement systemic changes that support flourishing at an institutional, not just at an individual, level.

Fabienne Vailes is an expert on emotional and mental well-being within the education sector. She is on a mission to change the face of education - embedding well-being into the curriculum to create an environment where both students and staff flourish and become empowered lifelong learners to succeed both academically and in the workplace.
