ADCET

In this short podcast, Brandon Taylor, Mental Health & Wellbeing Strategy Manager at TAFE Queensland, provides an overview of what mental health is and how to strengthen it for everyday life. 

Brandon presented six different areas (building blocks) of mental wellbeing and practical strategies and activities that can be used to strengthen them in everyday life. 

In this podcast, mental wellbeing is defined as the unique way that you handle your emotions, respond to stress and also your general outlook on life.

This podcast is the audio adaptation of the ADCET webinar: Leveraging students’ voices to strengthen student support. In it, presenter Elizabeth Hitches, PhD Candidate at the University of Queensland, draws upon a study of university students’ voices to explore what makes for effective student support and the ways in which it can be enhanced and improved.

The findings revealed that effective support goes beyond the tangible; it is not simply accommodating students’ academic needs, but the feeling of personalised support and care students receive, and enabling student agency and empowerment.

This ADCET Podcast is the audio adaptation of a webinar: Managing complex and challenging mental health situations, presented by Brandon Taylor (Mental Health & Wellbeing Strategy Manager, TAFE Queensland).

Brandon focused on the small number of instances where a student’s mental ill health is so disruptive to their thinking, thoughts and/or behaviours that they are unable to engage and participate in their chosen courses. 

The session worked through what this behaviour can look like and how best to manage situations where there is a lack of progress and/or unacceptable behaviour relating to mental ill health.
