Case Scenario

Ahmad, a mature student, begins missing classes and appears tired and withdrawn. His tutor privately checks in and learns he’s feeling overwhelmed. Ahmad recently arrived in Ireland and is struggling with homesickness, uncertainty around his residency, and difficulty sleeping. Together, they contact a student support officer who arranges free counselling in his preferred language. Ahmad feels heard and supported.

Reflective prompts:

• What changes in Ahmad’s behaviour might indicate emotional distress?

• How can I approach sensitive topics like mental health with cultural awareness?

• Am I familiar with support services for newly arrived migrants in my centre or community?
