# 2. Why do I worry?

You work at a higher education institution, so you have daily contact with students. The majority complete their courses without any problem and enjoy their student years. But occasionally you encounter another type of student – one who immediately gives you the gut feeling that there’s something wrong. That’s what this second module is about.

| #### Aim

The aim of this module is for you to learn what factors cause this gut feeling. You will learn to identify the signs that could indicate alarming behaviour (indicators) and what trigger events could lead to high-risk behaviour.

| #### Structure

This module is structured as follows:

1. In the first part of the module, we show you three scenes depicting a situation between a student and a teacher. We ask how you would deal with this situation.
2. This module focuses on your ability to recognise indicators and trigger events that could lead to alarming behaviour. In the second part of the module we examine these factors in more detail and show how an indicator may be a cause for concern about one person, but not to another.
3. In the third part of the module we translate theory into practice by analysing a real case: the Manchester bombing by Salman Abedi.

| #### Duration

The module takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
