Voices of Student Success, a series focused on student retention, engagement and graduation in higher education, takes over this week’s episode of The Key, Inside Higher Ed’s news and analysis podcast.
Student mental health is a growing concern for higher education administrators and practitioners as national rates of anxiety, depression and loneliness grow among college learners. During the COVID-19 pandemic, colleges and universities made heavy investments into digital solutions to improve students’ health and wellness, but how well do these applications serve students?
In this episode, host Ashley Mowreader speaks with Sara Abelson, assistant professor and senior director of training and education at the Hope Center, about digital mental health interventions, how they support students’ mental health and the need for more data regarding these interventions and the students who use them. Abelson is one of four authors of a recently published report by the Hope Center, commissioned by the Ruderman Family Foundation and in partnership with the Healthy Minds Network and Boston University.
