Entering higher education is a huge adjustment – between adapting to a new environment, meeting deadlines and trying to make new friends, the pressure of staying on top of everything can often be too much. This book acknowledges the emotional shift that occurs when a student goes to university and offers advice and strategies to help them to deal with a new set of situations that may be academically and or personally stressful and challenging.

Written by the award-winning student mental health expert Dr Dominique Thompson, this handy guide acknowledges the huge emotional shift that occurs when a student goes on to further education offering advice and strategies to help them deal with new situations that may be academically and/or personally stressful and challenging.

It outlines some of the reasons why it is particularly difficult for young adults to deal with the upheaval of starting further study and goes on to offer evidence-based approaches to help manage the transition. With insightful material from students who describe the unique pressures they experience – and how they dealt with them – this is a very practical book. From developing a “grit” mindset to strategies around social connectedness, readers will learn ways to help them develop resilient life strategies and grow because of their experiences.
