Supporting Classmates with Severe Emotional Disorders

Definition:

These conditions involve long-term emotional or behavioral difficulties that significantly impact a student's ability to adapt to school life. They may include psychiatric disorders, mood disorders, phobias, and anxiety disorders.

How to Support Classmates with Emotional and Behavioral Challenges:

  • Be a good listener.
    Show care and companionship by actively listening to their thoughts and emotions without judgment.

  • Practice empathy, not criticism.
    Avoid lecturing or criticizing them, as this may make them feel rejected or misunderstood. Instead, acknowledge their feelings and offer support.

  • Encourage without excessive optimism.
    While encouragement is helpful, overly optimistic or dismissive comments may make them feel more frustrated or misunderstood.

  • Do not pressure them to “just try harder.”
    Avoid telling them to overcome their struggles through sheer willpower, as this may lead to feelings of inadequacy or self-blame.

  • Connect them with professional resources if needed.
    If a classmate requires more specialized support, consider referring them to the counseling center, medical professionals, health services, or school safety resources for professional help.
