Working with GVSU Students
College students face a distinct set of challenges that can impact their mental health and overall well-being. These may include increased academic pressure, social adjustments, balancing multiple commitments and roles, identity exploration, and more. Community providers working with GVSU students can navigate these factors by maintaining a supportive space where students can explore these challenges, develop coping strategies, and find the balance they need to thrive both academically and personally.
