| Background: |
At CUHK, we have different types of students. Each of them is a unique individual. They have their own educational difficulties and issues. Therefore, academic advising is essential to address student’s academic issues. Every undergraduate and postgraduate student is assigned a Level I or Level II Academic Advisor. Academic Advisors hold multiple responsibilities and thus create various levels of stress. Some common stress could contain a lack of time, resources, support, recognition, or autonomy. These could lead to frustration, anxiety, exhaustion, irritability, or cynicism. This workshop aims to introduce de-stressing techniques for Academic Advisors and to increase their awareness of stress and its impact on their mind and body. It is important for Academic Advisors to de-stress themselves before engaging in academic advising to create better teacher-student relationships. By addressing their own stress level and using de-stressing techniques, Academic Advisors can help manage their own anxiety and cope with perceived demands and expectations.
