Here is SHOW #73: MENTAL HEALTH and COLLEGE STUDENTS. In this show, I discuss the serious issues of Mental Health and Mental Illness among college students today. As I have observed over my 35 years of teaching college classes, more and more of my college students are experiencing varying degrees of mental health issues. Whether it is increased anxiety, nervousness, isolationism, or depression, a much larger percentage of my Gen Z college students are experiencing more mental health conditions which may lead to a serious mental illness. In fact, I even share my own mental health issues when I was a college student in the 1970s and 1980s and struggled through some tough issues individually. The major TakeAway from this Podcast show is to: (1) Stay connected with your college student, (2) Listen more intensely to your college student, (3) Encourage more dialogue with your college student, (4) Provide more positive interactions and engagement with your college student, and (5) Reassure your college student that it is okay to seek professional help for your individual mental health situation.
