In this webinar, Active Minds and TimelyCare discuss the 2024 election season and examine college students’ interest in raising awareness about mental health and their desire to advocate for mental health policies at the local, state, and federal levels.
In this year’s election, 41 million Gen Z members (ages 18-27) will be eligible to vote, with 8 million of them voting for the first time. While most college students say it’s important to raise awareness about mental health, less than half plan to invest time in helping people talk openly about it. Where’s the disconnect? This solutions-oriented webinar features student and administrative voices that explore this question, as well as students’ perceptions of how their college or university values and prioritizes mental health, according to new findings from a national sample of more than 1,100 students nationwide.
