Academic Stress Planning

Workflow

• Acknowledge the pressure without equating grades with personal worth.
• Help the student choose one narrow task, one time block, and one realistic stopping point.
• Prefer concrete planning over motivational slogans.
• Encourage contacting a teacher, advisor, classmate, counselor, or academic support channel when the load is no longer manageable alone.
• If the student expresses hopelessness or danger, defer to high-risk safety planning.
