\nThe newly-formed Coalition\u2019s first initiative will be to launch an annual Thriving College Student Index <\/b>on Monday, October 10, 2022 -World Mental Health Day-with a mental health focused nonprofit, Hi, How Are You Project<\/b><\/a> (HHAYP). The survey will be conducted in collaboration with Ipsos, a world leader in research, to poll more than 800,000 college students across the U.S. With actionable data, HHAYP and Coalition members will develop industry-wide peer-to-peer staff training programs, effectively connect residents to established campus resources, and promote ways to manage stress and anxiety in college.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Coalition\u2019s start comes at a time when one in four college students report being diagnosed with a mental illness and one in five have had thoughts of suicide, according to a study by Depression and Anxiety Journal.<\/i> \u200bAnd according to the Mayo Clinic, up to 75% of struggling students are reluctant to seek help, which increases the risk of harmful outcomes such as dropping out of college, poor academic performance, suicide, and substance abuse.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe college experience should be one in which all people thrive, learn, and develop in healthy, safe, and positive environments,\u201d said Dr. Sonia Krishna, a board-certified physician in Austin, Texas specializing in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry and Hi, How Are You Project<\/b> board member. \u201cMore than ever before, college students face challenges that make it difficult for them to achieve their optimum mental wellness. Thanks to the support of this new Coalition, the Hi, How Are You Project has a partner in obtaining crucial information to best inform how to help college students thrive personally and academically.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
