In general, the topic of mental health has obtained much currency in today’s discourse, and it is a prevalent problem facing the global education system. In “Mental Health in the Classroom”, our hosts, along with our special guest, Dr. Carly Prusky, focus specifically on the wellness of students in post-secondary institutions by exploring some of the causes and effects of declining mental health, the role of educators in support and intervention, and the institutional responses we hope to see to address the current mental health crisis.
