New Report: Building Students’ Resilience: Strategies to Support Their Mental Health
Posted by The Chronicle of Higher Education on December 14, 2021
More than a year and a half into the Covid-19 crisis, college students are still coping with the stress and uncertainty caused by the pandemic. Whether they are navigating in-person, hybrid, or remote classes, students need more help than ever with focus, time management, and managing tasks. Sometimes what’s needed are resources to assist with housing, food, technology, or other essentials for wellness and success. Beyond basic needs, students and those who work with them need to distinguish between anxiety and stress.
Building Students’ Resilience shares insight from counselors on how your faculty members can understand the challenges facing students and provides expert tips on when — and how — to intervene.
- Understand the growing role of tele-mental-health services and apps.
- Recognize the early signs of distress and learn how to offer help to students in need.
- Learn how to foster positivity and help students manage their emotional struggles.
- Find out why counselors are burned out and the obstacles to recruiting new ones.
- Learn lessons about orientation and transition from a college that serves neurodiverse students.
- Help your faculty members understand the impact of the pandemic on student attention spans, and how to support their academic success.
