The survey will be conducted in collaboration with Ipsos, a world leader in research, to poll more than 800,000 college students across the U.S. With actionable data, HHAYP and Coalition members will develop industry-wide peer-to-peer staff training programs, effectively connect residents to established campus resources, and promote ways to manage stress and anxiety in college. The Coalition’s start comes at a time when one in four college students report being diagnosed with a mental illness and one in five have had thoughts of suicide, according to a study by Depression and Anxiety Journal. And according to the Mayo Clinic, up to 75% of struggling students are reluctant to seek help, which increases the risk of harmful outcomes such as dropping out of college, poor academic performance, suicide, and substance abuse. “The college experience should be one in which all people thrive, learn, and develop in healthy, safe, and positive environments,” said Dr. Sonia Krishna, a board-certified physician in Austin, Texas specializing in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry and Hi, How Are You Project board member. “More than ever before, college students face challenges that make it difficult for them to achieve their optimum mental wellness. Thanks to the support of this new Coalition, the Hi, How Are You Project has a partner in obtaining crucial information to best inform how to help college students thrive personally and academically.” Charter members of the Coalition include: American Campus Communities Asset Living Balfour Beatty CA Student Living Caliber Living Campus Advantage Campus Apartments Campus Life & Style Cardinal Group Management Core Spaces Dinerstein Greystar Landmark Properties Michaels Student Living PeakMade Real Estate Pierce Education Properties The Preiss Company Redstone Residential lRise RPM Living Student Quarters The Scion Group University Partners Yugo The Coalition is committed to helping improve the startling statistics associated with mental health issues among college students by understanding its residents, encouraging open dialogues and raising public awareness about the importance of mental health as students work to realize their full potential along their college journey and beyond. One of The Hi, How Are You Project’s signature initiatives is creating mental health training for staff and residence life programs for college-aged young adults, with national support from American Campus Communities (ACC). For the past four years, the nonprofit and ACC have conducted a College Student Fall Mental Wellness Survey. The Coalition will build on the learnings from this past survey and training experiences to provide new, leading resources for members. “By uniting as an industry, we have a unique opportunity to help remove the stigma associated with mental health discussions and change the dynamic that can lead to heartbreaking loss among students at the universities we serve,” said Bill Bayless, chief executive officer at American Campus Communities (ACC). “Together as a Coalition, we will use actionable data to prioritize mental wellness and expand our work with the Hi, How Are You Project and other mental health organizations to provide our residents with information and education, including ways to help them effectively engage and ask questions, starting with ‘Hi, how are you?’” Given the worsening youth mental health crisis, the Coalition is also collaborating with The JED Foundation (JED), a leading national nonprofit that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for teens and young adults. The Coalition and JED intend to use the survey data to create initiative benchmarks aimed at strengthening university resource connections—ultimately, creating a mental health safety net to help save lives.
