Imperial College Disability Advisory Service Disability related study barriers Successfully engaging in degree level studies The DAS is here to help students archive their potential despite encountering barriers to study associated with disability. We: offer a high quality advice service help to students to access the individual support available to them both within College and externally (eg. DSA) provide study support with experienced specific learning difficulties tutors and/or study mentors DAS

Mentoring is... Practical one to one Study support designed to facilitate the student’s independent self-management of the obstacles presented by enduring mental health difficulties and disabilities.

What is the aim of Mentoring? To support students to identify any obstacles to effective study presented by their disability. To facilitate the student’s thought process in order to identify solutions. To help the student implement good study strategies. To strongly encourage students to take responsibility for their own health and study. To be clear from the outset where the boundaries of mentoring lie

What obstacles may students managing mental health difficulties face? College Environment Anxiety Specific Experience of Mental Health Anxiety Side Effects of Medication Anxiety

How might these obstacles affect study? LecturesGroup Work Academic Support ExamsAssignments Social Interaction Personal Support

What can students use mentoring sessions for? Study Skills Support Study Techniques Systems Surrounding Study Study Process

What can’t the mentor do? The Study Mentor does not engage in therapeutic support. The Study Mentor does not provide personal support. The Study Mentor does not provide medical support. The Study Mentor does not deal with emergencies. Students in crisis could be referred to the Imperial College Health Centre, with their consent. In the event that the student is deemed to present a threat to themselves or to others please see Imperial College London: Mental Health Difficulties Protocol,

Independent Self-Management Mentoring seeks to support the student in developing their ability to independently manage their study and health and is based upon a contract in which the student acknowledges their own responsibility to take action in these areas.
