Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
This How to Guide will provide readers with information and insights which will better equip them to support law students in a higher education setting. Featuring contributions from an array of eminent academics and student support professionals, this book includes personal reflections, example scenarios and practical tips for those seeking to improve support for student wellbeing.
How to Offer Effective Wellbeing Support to Law Students discusses issues that impact wellbeing from a variety of perspectives including distance learning, the influence of sex and gender on the provision of pastoral support, and the challenges of providing wellbeing support at the same time as maintaining personal wellbeing. Written in an informative yet accessible style, chapters provide strategies to work with law students in a supportive capacity while integrating wellbeing as a core component of day-to-day teaching. Ultimately this How to Guide concludes that although wellbeing support varies between universities, there are universal traits and frameworks throughout that can encourage more effective and tailored welfare assistance.
This will be an excellent resource for early career researchers and more established academics in the field of law who undertake teaching and supervisory responsibilities. It will also be of interest to student support professionals as they seek to improve their techniques when working with law students.

‘How To Offer Effective Wellbeing Support to Law Students is an innovative new contribution which will support both law students and legal academic wellbeing. Although not all jurisdictions of legal education around the world adopt the UK system of pastoral care, all jurisdictions now have an evidence-based ethical imperative to ensure that law schools and legal academics do no harm to our students. More than that, we have a positive responsibility to support our students in their learning and career success. This work provides both theoretical wisdom and practical guidance. Bleasdale has brought together some of the UK’s most dedicated and experienced legal educators to extend our understanding of wellbeing support strategies and enhance the capacity of the legal academy globally to respond appropriately to the mental health needs of our students in evidence-based ways. This work should be on every legal educator’s bookshelf.’
