Samaritans on hand for
stressed out students
SAMARITANS are urging young
people stressed out about exams to contact the charity for
completely confidential emotional support any time of the night or
day.
Panic, anxiety, fear about the future, guilt and despair are just
some of the feelings students may be going through during the Summer
examinations period and the work on the reliability of the exam
assessment system by OFQUAL, the new regulator of qualifications,
exams and tests in England, could further enhance the worries of
young people at this time.
Anyone wanting to talk in confidence to a trained Samaritans
volunteer can contact the charity by phone, email, text, face to
face or through written correspondence.
Exams and waiting for exam results can bring on a unique kind of
stress; for students and parents or guardians. High expectations and
pressure from parents, teachers or friends can push students to the
brink, particularly when they feel their results don’t quite meet
those expectations. Learning how to recognise when they’re under
stress is one of the first steps towards dealing with it.
Samaritans Schools Consultation Officer, Amanda Edmondson said:-
“Talking about your feelings puts you back in control and reveals
the choices you have. Many people feel pressured into hiding their
feelings out of embarrassment or concern, not wanting to burden
family or friends, but hiding under a calm exterior only saves the
problem for later and stress can build up until it becomes
unbearable”.
Relationship Psychologist and Agony Aunt, Susan Quilliam, said:-
“The thing to realise is that if you know yourself you have done
your best then nobody can ask anything more of you. Of course you
will feel stressed and of course you will want to do well and that
is the point that you may want a little extra support if you feel
you are not coping. Talk to your mates and family and remember that
someone from Samaritans is there to listen 24/7 however big or small
the problem seems, if you feel you need a little help then just pick
up the phone.
Susan’s top tips to help young people get through the tough exam
period:-
1) Keep healthy. Eating sensibly, taking exercise, getting a good
night’s sleep and limiting alcohol and coffee can all help you stay
physically on top of your game.
2) Study effectively. Make a revision list, set up a supportive
environment, work through the topics steadily, take regular short
breaks and swap support with friends by forming a study group.
3) Manage external pressures. Talk to those who care for you about
how well you can realistically be expected to do. Put expectations
in context and help them understand that pressuring you isn’t
helpful.
4) Manage internal stress. Concentrate simply on doing the best you
can - no one can ask more of you. If you don’t get the results you
want there are always other options, some of which may actually suit
you better.
Samaritans has been working in schools for many years and launched
its schools programme DEAL in October 2006, Developing Awareness and
Learning, to improve the emotional health of teens across the UK and
Ireland and equip them with the emotional skills they need to cope
with society’s everyday pressures.
DEAL goes to every secondary school, to be used as part of a ‘whole
school’ approach to emotional health and wellbeing. It builds on
extensive work Samaritans has done with schools and will actively
promote the emotional wellbeing of young people, raise awareness of
emotional health, promote positive ways of coping and challenge the
stigma around asking for help.
Samaritans will be piloting a new suicide and self harm response kit
in schools from September for people who are struggling to cope.
Letter to the Editor:- "Clatterbridge
Centre for Oncology, is a top-performing hospital"
"WE are delighted to see the North West having the highest regional
performance of patient care, with 47% of patients rating the care
they received as ‘excellent’.
We are also proud that one of our key partners, Clatterbridge Centre
for Oncology, is a top-performing hospital with 90% of patients
feeling that they have been treated with respect and dignity.
As an independent research charity serving the region and conducting
pioneering, world-class research in the fight against cancer, this
recognition of high standards in the North West is very encouraging.
We are currently in exciting talks with regional partners to combine
our strengths to further excellence in the region. We look forward
to keeping the local community in touch with our plans and engaging
their support in improving the lives of all cancer patients in the
region."
