On top of all the challenges we鈥檝e faced in 2020, we also confronted one of the most polarizing elections in our country鈥檚 history. And, as the divisions in the political parties seem to grow and intensify, we want to support the higher education community by sharing how to guide your students through any potential political unrest.
Luckily, we didn鈥檛 face many protests after the election, but it鈥檚 important to provide a safe and inclusive environment for students to share their concerns. To do this, we invited Dr. Kozhi Sidney Makai to share his expertise during a recent webinar.
Request the webinar recording, Supporting Students Through Political Unrest, to discover the essential techniques to guide your students through any potential political unrest.
During this webinar, you鈥檒l learn key takeaways, such as how to:
- Listen to opposing views: It鈥檚 not about being right, it鈥檚 about being righteous. When someone is right, someone else is wrong. You are looking to have a dialogue and not a debate. Set aside your personal beliefs to understand others鈥� perspectives.
- Be in the moment: Make yourself available and focus on each individual seeking support. Be present in the moment to connect with them and hear their concerns.
- Avoid burnout: If you try to help every student you may not provide substantial support because you鈥檒l experience burnout. Instead, devote your time and energy towards supporting the students that seek help.
