College, Concerns, and COVID-19
Friday, March 5, 2021 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
We say young adults are resilient and they embrace change, but are they really okay? Or do we just want to believe that they are? Join a group of college adults as they freely discuss what is mentally going on. With Mental Health Specialist, Taurus Sanders.
For college students, the overwhelming majority report increased stress, anxiety, sadness, and depression as a result of the pandemic. Many also report feeling lonely or isolated. For students in college and high school facing school closures, many are losing access to the services they received in their school, and those with disabilities may not have access to the same supports or may need different supports, now that they are completing classes at home.
The pandemic’s economic and health impacts have hurt young people and their families. Loss of loved ones and unstable access to basic needs like housing, food, and internet have also impacted young people’s mental health, especially Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) youth whose communities have been disproportionately affected by the health and economic impacts of the pandemic. Among young people who were working, many are experiencing high unemployment rates due to the pandemic as many jobs have been lost due to business closures or shutdowns. According to the Center for Law and Social Policy, over 90 percent of unemployed young people do not have any access to income during the pandemic. www.mhanational.org
