COVID-19 served to bring attention to the declining mental health amongst university students. A 2023 study of 28,516 students across 17 South African universities found that:
​
-
71.3% of students reporting a mental health
-
53.6% of students reporting an anxiety of some form
-
33% of students reporting a severe mental health problem
​
And the effects are still being seen to this day.
In this 60-minute webinar we will:
​
-
Review the mental health situation on South Africa's campuses
-
Provide 3 simple strategies and practices that can be implemented in any bursary programme to help improve mental health and wellbeing and in doing so raise academic performance
