Centering Mental Health for Students in Higher Education

The Steve Fund invites you to a virtual session to unpack new research findings from our national survey. Student Mental Health on College Campuses, focusing on mental health experiences and challenges faced by college students. This session will present compelling data, lived experiences, and actionable strategies to engage educators, funders, and policy stakeholders in transforming mental health support systems in higher education.

Gain fresh insights into:

  • Understand the latest research on student mental health and help-seeking behaviors and why these trends demand immediate institutional attention.
  • Hear directly from students and mental health professionals, whose lived experiences bring the data to life and challenge assumptions.
