ABOUT THE WEBINAR   The number of college students seeking mental health support is rapidly trending upward. According to a national survey, 55% of community college students cited that emotional stress was their reason for considering withdrawing from college. Let’s take a closer look at the impact mental health conditions like anxiety, suicidal ideations, and depression have on the retention rate of students and the benefits of creating a culture of care during times of crisis.
