SAN DIEGO, Calif. — As the economy and job market rebound, many college students don't feel they are bouncing back as quickly.
“It was really cool to have this focus, academically, on mental health. And then seeing this huge thing happen in the world, and how that has affected everyone," said Krauter."And then seeing everyone, all of a sudden, take notice of the importance of mental health." Her team works closely with SDSU's Economic Crisis Response Team , which aims to bridge the gap in resources for students experiencing immediate food, housing, or unforeseen financial crises that impact student success.
“A lot of our students are experiencing crises related to basic needs, whether that be food insecurity or housing insecurity," said Rikard.
