Results day is a significant milestone in the academic journey of students, often bringing a whirlwind of emotions—from the joy of success to the fear of disappointment. At PsycApps, we understand the profound impact this day can have on young minds. To help educators, parents, and support staff navigate this critical period, we are excited to offer a comprehensive resource: “A GUIDE TO SUPPORTING STUDENTS DURING RESULTS DAY.” Download our free whitepaper today to access valuable insights and strategies designed to support students’ mental health and emotional wellbeing during this pivotal time.

What’s Inside the Whitepaper?

Our whitepaper delves into students’ multifaceted challenges on results day, providing evidence-based insights and practical strategies to foster resilience and confidence. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find:

Understanding the Emotional Landscape

Results day marks a significant transition for many young adults, often associated with heightened anticipation and pressure to meet expectations. Our whitepaper begins by exploring the emotional trajectory of students leading up to, during, and after results day, highlighting key wellbeing trends: 

  • Before Results Day: Students experience a range of emotional states, from resilience to severe anxiety. Understanding these variations helps in tailoring support strategies effectively.
  • On Results Day: Emotional wellbeing tends to converge as students receive their results, emphasising the need for immediate support.
  • After Results Day: Students follow different recovery paths, from steady improvement to prolonged slumps, underscoring the importance of sustained support.

Addressing Academic Pressure

A staggering 75% of students aged 11-18 feel significant pressure to succeed academically, contributing to increased anxiety and depression. Our guide offers practical advice on how to:

  • Create an Open Dialogue: Encourage discussions about stress and anxiety related to results day.
  • Provide Information and Resources: Equip students and parents with comprehensive information about what to expect and available support services.
  • Be Available and Approachable: Ensure staff members are accessible and approachable, offering immediate reassurance and support.

Post-Results Day Support

Supporting students doesn’t end when the results are out. The whitepaper outlines essential post-results day strategies:

  • Reassurance and Options: Help students understand that results are not the end of the world and inform them about their options moving forward.
  • Follow-Up Support: Arrange sessions to discuss results and future plans, providing continued guidance and encouragement.
  • Workshops and Seminars: Host sessions on coping strategies, resilience building, and mental health awareness to empower students proactively.
  • Parental Involvement: Engage parents by providing resources and guidance on how to support their children effectively.
