Mentoring challenges range from common stresses to problems that can involve deeper and more challenging roots. Graduate school is hard and stress is organic to it. The most common stressors grow from the intense workload and the intellectual struggles that are inherent to graduate school. Stress, however, can also grow from group dynamics, life-balance issues, and the natural developmental stages students go through. The harder, and less normal, stresses include mental health challenges such as depression, which is common among students, emotional entanglements between faculty and their trainees, and students who are struggling and failing. Professors must deal with all these challenges, but most universities have administrative and mental health staff who can help both the faculty member and the student. |
