Not only are anxiety and depression two of the most prevalent mental health disorders in the United States, they are particularly common among college students (Falsafi, 2016). Reports of college student anxiety, depression, and emotional distress have been on the rise (Holterman, 2016). The stressors students face are evolving in alignment with changes in early child education and the broader work environment. Despite these changes, research in this area is sparse, and management educators typically do not receive any specialized training. The purpose of this session is to discuss ways to help students navigate this critical crisis of our times.
