I don’t know if this is the sort of question that you answer but, as a teacher, how does it make you feel when a student discloses something to you? I know everyone’s got a different attitude to this sort of thing but, on the whole, how is talking to students about their (often difficult) mental states viewed?

I would feel glad that we have made a connection where the student feels comfortable sharing with me.  I would listen to them and try to help them where I could for whatever they tell me.
