The need for student mental health resources for all levels of learners has never been higher. In fact, a recent survey of 3,500 graduate students at 12 public institutions found that 67% of respondents scored low on well-being factors (Ogilvie et al., 2021).
To help address these important challenges, Vector Solutions has a new mental health course for graduate students tailored to fit their unique needs, such as navigating the fallout from COVID-19, parenting or caretaking responsibilities, and overwhelming stress related to their academic program. We designed this training to help support the unique needs of graduate students in managing their mental health challenges.
