The Challenge of Student Well-BeingHigh School. You can ask almost anyone, and they will tell you we are in the midst of a mental health crisis. 40% of high school students experience persistent sadness or hopelessness, and one in ten students attempted suicide in 2023¹.
College. Mental health challenges continue in college. Every year, approximately 24,000 college students attempt suicide². This makes suicide the second leading cause of death among U.S. college students. In addition, a 2023 national survey revealed that 76% of college students were experiencing moderate to serious psychological distress³. This distress often includes states such as stress and loneliness—emotional states that can be improved through the development of psychological skills. |

Learning about mental, emotional, and social skills (psychoeducation) often leads to improvement in mental health and well-being.
By learning how well-being is created, students, 1.) develop the skills needed to enhance well-being and 2.) gain a better understanding of the benefits of professional mental health support. |

|
Limited Time Awareness
Young adults are likely to have a hard time seeing into the future beyond months to a year or so. This limited time horizon makes the challenges they are facing seem like they will last forever. We aim to address this challenge by including articles on fast-acting strategies (like deep breathing and gratitude) as well as skills that take more practice (like acceptance or self-reflection). This combination of stratgies can help students improve their well-being in the short and longer-term. |
|
Limited Space Awareness
Young adults tend to have a self-conscious perspective. This can lead them to feel alone, like they're the only ones facing certain challenges, and in a spotlight. This amplifies the psychological threat of mistakes and difficulties. We aim to address this challenge through our articles by reminding students that their experiences are normal and by helping them build the mental, emotional, and social skills needed to manage experiences like these. |
|
Fixed Mindset
Many young adults hold a fixed-mindset—a mindset that tells them they can not improve themselves or their lives. Throughout our content, we repeatedly reenforce a growth mindset—reminding students that they can build the skills that increase well-being by taking simple, small actions over time. |
|
Social Comparison
With the advent of social media, social comparison—a common challenge that is already part of youth development—is massively amplified. Youth tend towards comparing themselves to others and ruminating on all the ways they think they fall short. We aim to address this challenge by normalizing common challenges and helping youth to recognize their strengths, values, and unique purpose. |

A Note From The FounderSince getting my Ph.D. in psychology at UC Berkeley, I have written hundreds of well-being-boosting articles. I've written content for Facebook's well-being pages, LinkedIn's employee well-being programs, Headspace's articles, Psychology Today, and more.
When I work with organizations, I charge $1 per word or $200 per hour. But I don't want to just help businesses—I wanted to help young people too, and that's why I created this super affordable, science-based content collection specifically for schools. ✓ This Student Well-Being Content Collection relies on my 20+ years of psychology training and content development experience. |
