A Teaching and Learning Tuesday (TLT) Professional-Development Opportunity
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 @ 2:30pm
| 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. |
