Post - secondary student mental health is a critical topic that needs to be continuously addressed - especially with the detrimental effects COVID has brought. Check out the infographic for more information. Mental health is important, let’s talk about it. #AcademicMentalHealth

Hi @MHCC_ ! As part of my university course, I’m researching post-secondary students mental health. My peers and I wonder: what are some educational tools parents can be equipped with to understand this topic and aid their kids?

Hi @YMHCanada! As part of my university course, I’m researching post-secondary students mental health. My peers and I wonder: how can students feel connected to one another and the content they are learning when distance apart is crucial right now?

Very interesting to see my Twitter analytics for the first time as the course progresses

Beth Dennis, Queen’s student, expresses her concern with wait times for mental healthcare within universities. This forces students to turn to the private sector which is expensive, compromise within their budget restraints or not receive therapy at all. https://t.co/lWTa0HFhPE

The competitive nature of post secondary forces students to base their worth on grades. Additionally, cultural stigma and linguistic barriers force many students to reject reaching out for help. Addressing these root issues is the first step to change. #EM203Robin #EM203research

Today's quote comes from Jenna Pfeifer

"It is important to build a strong support network that can help remove the stigma around mental health and provide students & faculty with the tools they need to support themselves & each other"

@em203iabrahim Hey Iman, I really enjoyed reading your perspective on the impact of socialization on the internet! It’s amazing to see how quickly influenced our society today by internet access/use.

@EthanKlausz I’m also interested in climate change. An addition in a problem to your map can be how economic classes will feel varying effects of climate change, it is not a uniform effect by any means and I’d find research in that to be interesting and important.

@LaurenCEM203
Hi Lauren, I’m also passionate about student mental health. I’d also add the issue of languages.Often therapy or other services are not available with language and cultural sensitivity in mind. It can limit/hinder someone from using services at all. #EM203problems

@EM203Santi Hi Santiago, I completely agree! It’s shocking when taking a step back & realizing how much our society depends on tech in disseminating/absorbing info. I’d be intrigued to learn how diff cultures use tech for their own benefit and how we can learn from one another. Great post!

[Iman Abrahim @em203iabrahim]

@EM203wmujahid Hi Wadooha, I agree! By being exposed to diff learning theories, it allows educators/parents to cater and tap into their students/kids strengths. Individuals, at any age, can absorb info and excel based on how they learn best - fuelling confidence/expertise.

@EM203prabedi Hi Prateek, lovely post! I agree, society’s evolution is interviewed with the advancements made in tech. The digital world is where ideas are shared/critiqued/built upon. The aspect of international collaboration is what is truly exciting.

[Iman Abrahim @em203iabrahim]

@ethanthom13 Hi Ethan, I completely agree! Diversity in information online grants everyone instant answers. Simultaneously tho, freedom in posting/sharing can be harmful with fake news/uninformed opinions etc. We must be vigilant and stay critical of online info/sources.

[Iman Abrahim @em203iabrahim]

@EM203Joseph Hi Joseph, totally agree. One thing that stands out to me is how the evolution of tech impacts how quickly/many individuals can learn simultaneously globally. Thus, curating various important discourses for all to partake in. Great post!

[Iman Abrahim @em203iabrahim]

So far, I’ve grasped how socialization is directly impacted by the internet. Whether actively/passively, our minds are constantly remolded with shifting nodes of info which we claim as knowledge (connectivism). So, it is important to constantly question what we know #EM203Robin
