More than 6 in 10 college students are dealing with mental health issues. 4 in 10 high schoolers experience persistent hopelessness. Why is the school system still failing to respond to this crisis adequately?
Nearly 4 in 10 high school students worldwide experience persistent sadness or hopelessness. The student mental health crisis is no longer just a personal problem β it has become a systemic challenge that education must help solve.
97% of U.S. public schools now offer mental health services β yet one in four students still goes without help. As schools step up in unprecedented ways, federal funding cuts are pulling in the opposite direction.
