In our third season of the 360 Discussion Series, we will dive deeper into what shapes the postsecondary lifestyle of the modern learner. We will explore factors impacting the pursuit and completion rate of these students.
This is the second discussion in our current series on Modern Learners: Navigating Multiple Personas and Commitments.
Our 2023 Student Financial Wellness Survey findings tell us 42 percent of students facing basic needs insecurities simultaneously experience major depressive disorder (compared to 20 percent of their counterparts without food or housing related challenges).
Similarly, 53 percent of students with basic needs insecurity had a positive screen for generalized anxiety disorder through the GAD-2 (versus 29 percent of those without basic needs security issues).
In this episode, Dr. Debra Chromy welcomes Allyson Cornett, Mallory Jordan, and Leilani Lamb to discuss the connection between basic needs and mental health on student success.
