Sumario: | "Colleges were already under pressure to meet students' mental-health needs and the Covid-19 pandemic has made the situation more dire. Counseling-center directors and other clinicians who work with students are seeing a significant increase in anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders. Less-visible problems with attention, executive function, and stress management are also having an impact on students' academic performance. Experts also see encouraging signs of resilience, but warn that milder problems can worsen if left unattended. College leaders need to understand the challenges and know-how, and when to intervene. This report offers a sense of the scale of students' mental-health challenges, good news about what many colleges are already doing right, and guidance for how your staff and faculty can best support resilience and well-being."--The Chronicle Store
