UHI Student Mentor Network ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Are there any other areas you think mentors should avoid? What potential problems could you see in the work of a mentor? Could overlap with other college services or lack of specialist knowledge be issues to address? By good referral to specialists, mentors can avoid potential areas of conflict with mentees or staff.

You may prefer only mentoring one to one. That is fine, in fact that is really what mentoring is. The purpose of group work is not so much actual mentoring, but to find out who could benefit from mentoring.

UHI Student Mentor Network ,[object Object],[object Object],What should the next meetings consist of? Online students can be emailed to see how they are getting on. Try to do something other than just ask how they are. Perhaps send an email talking about your own experiences at that stage of the year to get conversation started.

UHI Student Mentor Network Is mentoring group work? We don’t assume that you will be working in a group. You may prefer only mentoring one to one. That is fine, in fact that is really what mentoring is. The purpose of group work is not so much actual mentoring, but to find out who could benefit from mentoring. The best work of mentoring is always a one to one. A group setting is actually unsuitable for good quality mentoring as people will not open up in a group. Mentors who work remotely with students, by email, Blackboard or phone will always mentor in a one to one setting. When working one to one, always have an idea what you would like to achieve from the session, but let the mentee be the main guide as to what they would like to achieve. Your role is to facilitate them to excel. Let them set the targets, but you challenge them to go further!

UHI Student Mentor Network Basic counselling awareness Counsellors work with a variety of difficulties and issues. In universities problems include: studies and exams, personal relationships, identity, loneliness, anxiety, depression, suicidal feelings, homesickness, family problems, cultural issues, trauma, life changes, bereavement and loss, eating difficulties, drug or alcohol problems, life crises, mental health issues, experiences of abuse or discrimination. The most common issues are usually home sickness, challenges of independent learning, making friends and relationship problems. UHI academic partner counsellors can help with all of these issues. They provide time and space to examine, clarify and understand concerns, and explore and develop more effective ways of coping.
