Pete Kingsley is the Student Development Coordinator for the MasterCard Foundation scholars at the University of Edinburgh. In this episode, Kingsley talks about secondary or vicarious trauma; the tricky balance between values, intent, and capacity for pastoral care; the burden of care placed upon supervisors; structural challenges driving the demand for mental health services among university students; the power of listening; and creative ideas for improved institutional support that move beyond coping mechanisms.
