The New Majority Of Students Spotlights Mental Health And Basic Needs
SHARE

College students today are facing a new set of challenges that go beyond the traditional developmental concerns often associated with young adults on campus. A recent report highlighted the shift in demographics, showing that non-traditional students make up the majority of learners in higher education. These students are older, have children, and are juggling jobs alongside their studies.

Basic needs insecurities have become a pressing issue for many college students, with a significant number experiencing food or housing insecurity. The link between mental health challenges and basic needs is evident, as stress and anxiety resulting from financial barriers can exacerbate mental health issues. Dr. Sara Abelson from The Hope Center emphasizes the importance of addressing both mental health and basic needs insecurities to support student wellbeing.

Financial barriers, including rising tuition costs and living expenses, pose significant challenges for many students. While schools are making efforts to curb tuition costs, the financial burden on students continues to increase. Changes to federal funding support for college students further complicate the situation, particularly for non-traditional students with additional financial and family obligations.

Addressing students’ basic needs is crucial for improving academic outcomes and breaking cycles of poverty. By ensuring students have access to essential resources, colleges can reduce reliance on public benefits and contribute to a healthier society. Partnerships with organizations like The Hope Center can help colleges collect data and develop systematic approaches to address basic needs insecurities on campus.

In conclusion, holistic approaches that address both mental health and basic needs are essential for supporting the new majority of college students. By prioritizing student wellbeing and investing in support services, colleges can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all learners.
