LINK: Leveraging AI to Support Student Mental Health and Well-Being
Excerpt:
The latest report on student mental health from Healthy Minds reveals encouraging data but also underscores the complex nature of this persistent problem and the ongoing need for comprehensive support.
The traditional campus resources—counseling centers and wellness programs—are stretched thin, and higher education leaders are beginning to explore innovative solutions to provide this critical support. While there’s no easy fix, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) is giving colleges new options to consider.
AI can’t replace human care, but it can help. AI tools are already being used to connect students with resources, manage everyday stresses, and even flag potential warning signs before a student is in crisis. In this post, we’ll look at how campuses are using AI for mental health and wellness, where it’s making a difference, and what challenges still need to be addressed.
