How Parents and Caregivers Can Support Their College Students Mental Health

Young adulthood is a complex time marked by growing independence and personal responsibility. In the last year, more than 30% of college students were diagnosed and treated for anxiety, and 22% for depression. Parents and
caregivers benefit from knowing the tools to assist their children with identifying mental health needs and providing support and resources.
