The Unique Challenges of Student Life

Transitioning to university life, academic pressures, financial concerns, and social isolation can all contribute to mental health challenges for students. The college years are a uniquely vulnerable time, as young people navigate new relationships, living situations, and intense academic demands.

​

A Growing Epidemic

Mental health and wellbeing issues at universities are on the rise. Studies show that 60 % of college students meet the criteria for at least one mental health problem. Globally, a 2020 survey across several countries found that 76 % of students struggle to maintain their wellbeing. These alarming statistics highlight the urgent need for comprehensive mental health support.

​

The Toll of Overwhelming Stress

While some stress is normal, many students are experiencing levels of pressure and high demands that can have long-term consequences. In fact, 75 % of lifetime mental health issues first emerge by the mid-20s. This immense strain can take a significant toll on students' overall well-being.
