In a recent survey of college and university students, 65% reported feeling stressed or anxious about the upcoming U.S. Presidential election. Following the unrest and protests on many campuses this spring, more than half of students said engaging in political dialogue affects their mental health. From higher education and healthcare policy to constitutional rights and civil liberties, decisions made in the coming months will impact students’ short- and long-term futures. This GenZtressed webinar will explore ways to support student mental health, well-being, and overall success at this pivotal time in our nation’s history.
