How the political climate and economic uncertainty are increasing the mental health challenges on campuses.
Anxiety and depression are on the rise among college students, driven, in part, by pressures to balance academics with personal, economic and family responsibilities. In this episode of The Key, Inside Higher Ed’s news and analysis podcast, two mental health leaders talk about how the current political climate and economic uncertainty are exacerbating the existing mental health challenges on campuses.
Tara Harper, assistant vice president for student well-being and clinical operations at Lincoln University, and Seli Fakorzi, director of mental health operations at TimelyCare, join IHE’s editor in chief, Sara Custer, to discuss what colleges are doing to address rising symptoms of anxiety and depression among students and how they’re keeping everyone safe and healthy during a time of great upheaval.
