Depression, anxiety, and stress-related problems are pervasive in University life and can result in behaviors such as substance abuse and suicide. Patterns of self-harmful behavior can have detrimental long-term consequences, as emotional difficulties and risky substance use may hinder students’ ability to thrive during their key formative years in University.
The Student E-Mental Health Project looks at the prevalence and impacts of these habits, problems, and disorders on student wellbeing, offering a suite of personalized e-interventions.
