Self-💀 is the second most leading cause of d3ath among U.S college students. Many students report their mental health worsened since attending college.
This is an important question (it’s okay not to answer):
What are our thoughts to help prevent it?
Smash Capitalism and its ever-moving goalposts. These days, it’s not enough that you go to college— you gotta do the All of Everything in order to even have a chance at appealing to the job market.

offer actual stress relieving activities. as someone whose allergic and afraid of dogs, offer service cats. offer a mindfulness space. a quiet room. a place to color or wind down.

But seriously, Universities could really do more to make the learning/working environment less toxic and competitive. (It’s not just the ivies, guys.)

I would imagine service cats would be SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive since they are much harder to train than dogs. Either that or enough time to create a breed that’s more trainable

they really aren’t though. i have a cat who is leash trained, he learned how to sit in a soil 2 days, knows his name and recall, he knows how to shake and speak aswell. you just have to train them young.
