This is the first in a blog series focusing on mental health and wellbeing in education.
Ask anyone in education what’s top of mind, and they’ll probably mention students’ mental health and wellbeing. Last year, college students reported rapid spikes in anxiety and depression, with 60% saying the pandemic has made it harder to access mental health care, according to a study by the Healthy Minds Network.
Though the emotional, mental, and physical health of students has been a growing concern in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic transformed wellbeing into a defining facet of their learning experience.
Whether it’s a kindergartener starting their educational journey or someone facing their first year in college, the importance of driving student wellbeing has never been more evident. In fact, recent Salesforce.org research shows that 32% of students would like more wellbeing and mental health resources from their institution.
