This webinar is brought to you by the Community College Health Coalition
In this presentation, Professor Sarah Ketchen Lipson (she/her) will share lessons learned from nearly 15 years of data collected through the national Healthy Minds Study, the most comprehensive annual survey on mental health in higher education. She will discuss prevalence, help-seeking, stigma, and trends in mental health outcomes over time as well as inequalities amplified in recent years. This will include evidence around the unique needs of community college students as well as the ways in which needs are similar for students across institutional types. Dr. Lipson will share what her team has learned about best practices in prevention and early intervention for mental health on campus, and future directions for both research and practice.
The presentation will be 60-minutes in length, including time for questions and discussion.
Learning outcomes:
- To understand the state of mental health among students at a population-level, including trends and overall prevalence levels and variations among community college samples.
- To understand the inequalities that exist in terms of which students are and are not accessing mental health services and the opportunities to expand the reach of resources to meet all student needs, including with limited resources.
