In this blog post, we draw insights from Tidewater Community College leaders to outline five practical actions community colleges can implement to improve students\u2019 mental health and overall well-being that support institutional efforts to boost student success.<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-a-community-college\"><\/span>What is a community college?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>A community college is a two-year school, with open admissions, that offers reasonably priced higher education, often as a pathway to a four-year degree. Nationwide, millions of students have the options of seeking certifications, improving workforce training, experiencing dual enrollment, completing a two-year associate&#8217;s degree, saving money doing general coursework before transferring to a four-year college or university, or, in some cases, even completing a bachelor\u2019s degree. Community colleges are often the educational hub and significant workforce development driver in the regions they serve.<\/p><p>However, community college students often face unique challenges, such as juggling work, family, and academics, which can take a toll on their mental health. Community college students are also more likely to be first-generation college students, non-traditional students, or exposed to financial insecurity than their four-year school counterparts.

According to Dr. Karen Campbell, VP for Student Affairs, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for mental health support in community colleges. An internal TCC survey revealed that 37% of students reported moderate anxiety and 34% reported moderate depression. To address this, leaders should collaborate with mental health organizations and implement counseling services, workshops, and support groups that cater to the specific needs of their student population. These services can help students manage stress, anxiety, and depression effectively.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d83ed42 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"d83ed42\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e00edce ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"e00edce\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-dce-advanced-background-color=\"#C2D8EC\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-259ff01 elementor-blockquote--skin-quotation elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"259ff01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u201cAccess to mental health is something I think a lot of people take for granted.

Melvilyn Scott, Lead Case Manager in the Student Resource and Empowerment Center, stressed the importance of engaging, empowering, and enabling students to succeed in all aspects of their lives. To achieve this, leaders should offer workshops and training programs that promote mental health literacy among students, faculty, and staff. These programs can help destigmatize mental health issues and encourage open conversations about mental well-being. Additionally, leaders should disseminate information about available resources, making it easier for students to seek help when needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

Additionally, hosting events, workshops, and awareness campaigns can foster a sense of community and encourage students to take proactive steps toward better mental health.
