Mental Health in College: What Research Tells Us about Supporting Students
Join us for a lively discussion of a new book, Mental Health in College: What Research Tells Us about Supporting Students from Harvard Education Press. This webinar features NACAC’s CEO, Dr. Angel Perez, and the book’s editor, Dr. Alexis Redding of the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Mental Health in College explores the full arc of the college experience, starting with the pressures of the admissions and financial aid processes as students and their families plan for college. Dr. Perez co-authored a chapter in this book, Mental Health and Well-Being in the Transition to Postsecondary Education, using NACAC’s research conducted by the Ad Hoc Committee on Mental Health and Equity in The Transition to Postsecondary Education. These findings empower all of us to think deeply about supporting students and their families as they navigate the path to higher education.
For anyone advising students or shaping policy, the research findings presented in this webinar offer important insights and actionable strategies. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn directly from Dr. Pérez and Dr. Redding about how we can empower all students and help them thrive in the application process and transition to college.
