A student mentor usually works with college and university students
with disabilities or mental health difficulties. A mentor provides
them with support to
address any barriers to learning their difficulties may cause.
The mentor is there to help bridge the academic and
pastoral support roles already at the academic establishment, with
the aim of ensuring that individual students engage more effectively
in learning and achieve appropriately.
Having this additional support may help individuals overcome social, emotional and behavioural problems. They also
work with pupils experiencing organisational difficulties or needing
support with study skills, planning and revision and sometimes life
skills.
Stepping Stones East is already contracted with a number
of different local authorities, supporting students in
further and higher education across
East Anglia.
Difficulties supported include:
- Aspergers syndrome
- Depression
- Mental health issues
- Eating disorders
Often this support is paid for from the
Disabled Students’ Allowance, available through a student's local
authority.
We have a suite of comfortable rooms in Ipswich, Suffolk, that can be used to offer
support to students in a private, calm and safe environment.
However, it is often more advantageous for us to travel to the
student. We can fit in with the constraints of a busy academic
timetable, whilst being able to offer more support within the
environment they are having the most difficulty.
