Coping strategy for students struggling with cost of living crisis
"The cost of living crisis is having a major impact on the mental health of students and apprentices,” according to research by the National Union of Students published earlier this year.
More recently, Nick Hillman, director of the Higher Education Policy Institute , singled out day-to-day living costs as “the most urgent and pressing issue for students in 2022.
“But the reality is many others are experiencing this challenge too. Take a moment to bring compassion to the situation by acknowledging the real challenges associated with the high cost of living. Notice and name feelings like despair or frustration that may be present. Then, from the voice of a dear friend, offer yourself words of kindness and affirmation like, ‘of course you wish this was different’ or ‘I see how hard this is to accept’.
“Remember that things are changing all the time. And though this crisis seems everlasting, we can acknowledge that it will shift in some way, at some point.”Managing studying while faced with newfound freedom and pressures can leave the basics – such as sleep, a healthy diet and exercise – neglected.
