Abstract
This chapter focuses mainly on dealing with pastoral care issues. Although university teachers may be, as Anna Neumann (2009) found, primarily focused on their subjects, many also care passionately about their students’ development, health and welfare. Whether through reading student work, listening to them in small classes, or seeing them individually during office hours, teachers often face students who are coping with a range of personal challenges including abortion, coming out, family deaths or depression.
