Abstract:
|
In advising, we often center the student's life story. Student stories aren't limited to their educational pursuits. Students discuss their identities, mental health, interpersonal relationships, trauma, and financial concerns. We are not neutral listeners: advisors may be experiencing similar stressors as students. How do we sit with, confront, and process these stories that are shared with us, as well as our own? How can we continue to hold space for students to share their life stories without sacrificing our own well-being? Participants will wrestle with these questions and discuss how a culture that prioritizes the student story can allow for advisor self-care. Through engaging case studies and meaningful discussion, participants will gain a greater understanding of compassion fatigue, burnout, and how to prioritize advisor well-being. |
