Student Mental Health and Safety

ChroniclePage_071624_Mental-Health_AT&T_Asset.png

As increasing numbers of college students report acute anxiety and depression, mental health has become a major concern on campuses. Students with mental-health problems are more likely to struggle academically and drop out of school, and academic distress remains higher than pre-pandemic levels.

How can safety officers, mental-health professionals, and campus police collaborate effectively to ensure student safety? In what innovative ways can colleges help students, and how can technological solutions, like teletherapy, help institutions meet the demand?

Watch the on-demand Virtual Forum from July 16 at 2 p.m. ET for the state of campus mental health. The panel of experts discussed how they approach mental-health concerns and shared tips and tools for effective measures to take on your campus.

With Support From AT&T.

Host: Kate Hidalgo Bellows, staff reporter, The Chronicle of Higher Education
