Mental Health – Design Forward

In 2021 more than 80% of students reported that emotional or mental health difficulties hurt their academic performance one or more days in the previous month. 41% of college students screened positive for major to moderate depression. HMS found that in 2021, 13% of college
students had thoughts about suicide. (JED Foundation)

Mental health is an academic issue, and research shows that we can improve persistence if we, as faculty, learn more about the mental health challenges that our students face use that knowledge to inform our teaching practice.

“Design Bites” are a special kind of portfolio post. They’re an opportunity for us to share practical design ideas that we’ve tried or are planning to try. As DF participants add more Bites, we will assemble a library of these that will be searchable by type, tags, and modules.
