COVID has brought new attention to what many are calling the “mental health crisis" on college campuses. A 2020 study found that nearly 40% of college students experienced depression and 13% have had suicidal ideations.
The week Lisa Levenstein talks with Gary Glass, licensed psychologist, and director of counseling and career services at Oxford College of Emory University, about the challenges facing students and the increasing pressure on faculty to address mental health concerns. Glass calls on us to expand our thinking from how to diagnose and treat individuals in crisis to how to build a broader campus community and culture that supports students more holistically.
Following the conversation, Levenstein talks with her friend and colleague Tiffany Holland, a lecturer at UNC Greensboro and Guilford College. Holland shares her experiences embracing vulnerability and building community with students in the wake of the pandemic.
