If you or another post-secondary student you know is dealing with mental illnesses, encourage the respective university to increase funding for student support systems, such as therapy or support groups.

While some universities have been increasing funding to their counselling centres, this isn't enough. Students rarely have access to mental health services on-campus and are often left relying on themselves for help, which many do not seek due to financial reasons.

@ZJAyres How do you feel about mental health illnesses becoming the newest trend with today's generation? Do you believe more people are subject to these illnesses or are they simply adopting them because everyone else is?

[Sonia Gandhi @EM203Sonia]

Hi @ZJAyres! Do you think that universities are currently responding appropriately to the mental health decrease in their students due to COVID?

Ten days after Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine began, hundreds of Ukrainians are dead, thousands are injured, and over a million are displaced.

This event is absolutely devastating and it is important we educate others on gun safety, especially parents of minors. #EM203Robin

Another consideration to substance abuse is the various physical effects it has on the body and the long lasting consequences of it.

Hello @em203bleung! An issue surrounding substance abuse are the stigmas that surround any type of addiction and ways to reduce it. #em203problems

Hi @em203_czhang, I think a problem surrounding climate change is the current denials surrounding it and the various perspectives that exist about whether or not climate change exists. #em203problems

[Sonia Gandhi @EM203Sonia]

Hi @EM203JennyBui! I really liked your concept map on mental health. I think one prominent issue currently surrounding it is the fact that many cannot afford mental health support, especially students, whether that be through therapy or medication. #em203problems

@EM203CCOTE Hi Christina! With the past couple of years being online for school, I think many of us are coming to discover whether we like the excessive use of technology for our education or prefer learning in person. Sometimes it's good to have a break from using technology!

[Sonia Gandhi @EM203Sonia]

@Kayla83501712 Hi Kayla! It's great to hear that you reflected on your own learning methods in the digital age. While many have found that technology has aided their learning experience, others have found it to be an extreme disadvantage to obtaining knowledge (take online school for example!)

[Sonia Gandhi @EM203Sonia]

@emilyydovee Hi Emily! I like how you outlined technology as having its disadvantages when it comes to learning. Although the benefits are widely highlighted, it is definitely important to note that not everyone learns the same and some prefer in-person learning rather than virtual.

[Sonia Gandhi @EM203Sonia]

@EM203Tanjot Hi Tanjot! Technology is very useful in furthering the learning of individuals as it promotes conducting further research and collaboration. Many students positively rely on technology to gain more knowledge that cannot be obtained otherwise.

[Sonia Gandhi @EM203Sonia]

@EM203jcino Hi Julia! Technology has definitely aided in the various learning styles that exist and has allowed each individual to succeed in a way that best suits their needs. It is great to hear that you have also found an approach that works best for you!

[Sonia Gandhi @EM203Sonia]

Within the past three weeks of EM203, I have gained a greater understanding of how technology can be used to benefit our learning experiences. Through constructivism, technology can be specifically used to construct new knowledge and search for personal meaning. #EM203Robin
