A large percentage of high school graduates are rethinking college enrollment, citing stress as the key deterrent, and 41% of current college students have considered stopping out, while 40% of all undergraduates are expected to drop out.
Recognizing the importance of student persistence and retention, institutions are rethinking their strategies for supporting students’ mental health and well-being, and considering additional ways to increase their care offerings.

During this webinar, you’ll learn:
-
How the state of college mental health has evolved post-pandemic
-
Ways to evaluate your existing mental health programs and services
-
What types of mental health offerings are available from telehealth providers
-
