Nearly one third of students (32%) currently pursuing a degree or certificate say they have considered stopping out in the past six months — and almost half (49%) of those students cite emotional stress as their primary reason. Adding to this stress, students are increasingly facing loneliness, mounting financial burdens, caregiving responsibilities and general distrust of higher education systems — especially students who have already been historically underserved in these spaces.
As institutions, states and systems seek to confront these challenges, it’s more important than ever to tap into wraparound care models that prioritize proactive connection, deliver holistic support and center on well-being for all students. Join experts from The Jed Foundation (JED), TimelyCare, InsideTrack and CAEL in a panel-style discussion offering proven strategies to address student mental health.
During this webinar, we’ll share:
- Proactive strategies to reach students before they experience crisis
- Best practices for embedding holistic mental health support across your institution
- Insights into how institutions can partner to effect systems-level change
Speakers include:
- Jeannie McCarron (Moderator), Vice President of Member Engagement, CAEL
- Seli Fakorzi, Director of Mental Health Operations, TimelyCare
- Mark Patishnock, Ph.D., Vice President of School Programs Implementation, The Jed Foundation
- Ann Werbach, Senior Director of Programs, InsideTrack
