Today, mental health concerns are a significant challenge for college students across the country. Mental health symptoms among college students have been rising dramatically for the past decade. These symptoms cause distress in all aspects of students’ lives and impact their ability to focus on academic work, increasing the likelihood of negative outcomes and withdrawing from school. Community college teams must do better at leveraging knowledge to support students' mental health and well-being. In this session, participants gain insight about students’ experiences with mental health in college, reflect on the extent to which institutions are positioned to respond to students’ mental health needs, and identify strategies to improve student support.
Note: Webinars are free for individuals at NISOD member colleges.
