Webinar Description
Tuesday, May 19 at 2:00 PM (ET) | 11:00 AM (PT)
Student mental health remains a pressing issue across higher education, and institutions are looking for effective, evidence-based ways to better support their campus communities.
As leaders evaluate how to strengthen services, prevention efforts, and broader well-being strategies, data can play an important role in identifying needs and guiding decisions.
This session will discuss opportunities to invest effectively in student mental health in college universities. We will review data on the state of student mental health, based on the national Healthy Minds Study, and we will discuss how this data can be used to make an economic case for investing more in student mental health programs and services.
We will then examine opportunities to improve student mental health through population-level strategies and interventions that have evidence of effectiveness.
