Forty-eight percent of high school students say they have increased anxiety, nerves, and worry related to college planning and a third of those applying to or considering college said mental health concerns are a reason why they might not attend. In their latest report on student readiness, our partner EAB addresses the academic, social, and emotional challenges facing K-12 students and offers a list of recommendations for improving student readiness gaps. Among them: providing additional support to help students better manage their mental well-being and social relationships.

"As a general rule, I find that listening more and talking less is an essential first step when supporting someone experiencing suicidal thoughts. Providing a safe, non-judgmental space and being fully present with the person in crisis can be incredibly powerful." - Maura DeWandler PMHNP-BC, Mantra Health Psychiatric Provider 👋 Get to know our psychiatric nurse practitioner Maura DeWandler!

One of the first steps to preventing suicide is to talk about it. This #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth, with students back on campus, let's start the conversation. Fostering discussions around crisis and suicide prevention, promoting mental health and well-being, and sharing crisis support resources will encourage students to seek help when they're facing a mental health crisis or considering suicide.

"If students know they can easily and quickly access services, they are more likely to use them. I’ve seen many instances where a student has come for therapy and has been considering consulting a psychiatrist for medication for years. When I tell them they can finally get that consultation from the comfort of their room and within a short time, they’re motivated to follow through and often have that appointment within days." - Rhona Menikheim, LCSW, Mantra Health Provider One of our incredible therapists offers insight into the student experience, the evolution of the higher education mental health industry, and the ways in which she maintains her own self-care while working one-on-one with students.
