First-Gen Student Mental Health & Well-Being: Successes and Opportunities

First-Gen Student Mental Health & Well-Being: Successes and Opportunities

This was a 2024 Annual Meeting session that was cancelled Saturday morning due to the Atlanta water main break. Open to all regardless of whether you attended the Annual Meeting.

The need for information about how institutions address students' mental health is high. To this end, the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and the Student Well-being Institutional Support Survey (SWISS) partnered to create a Topical Module on student mental health and well-being for 2023. This session will describe what we learned from the survey and the implications for institutional practice. Special focus will be on first-generation students, whose unique challenges in navigating collegiate experiences can impact their well-being.
