QUESTION 1
a) Explain the concept of psychosocial support in an educational context.
Psychosocial support in an educational context refers to the assistance provided to students to
help them cope with emotional, social, and mental health challenges that impact their learning and
overall well-being. It involves creating a safe and nurturing school environment that addresses
students' psychological and social needs, fostering resilience and positive coping mechanisms.
This support can include counseling, peer support programs, and social-emotional learning
activities that enhance students' emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Educators play a
critical role by building trusting relationships, recognizing signs of distress, and implementing
supportive strategies that promote a sense of belonging and self-worth. Effective psychosocial
support helps students manage stress, navigate social challenges, and maintain positive mental
health, ultimately contributing to improved academic performance and personal development.
