🚨The Impact of Academic Pressure in Students is Alarming🚨
According to the American Psychological Association, 87% of college students are grappling with immense stress due to the uncertainties of their education, with the pandemic making future planning seem "impossible" for two-thirds of them.
Many students are contemplating switching majors to boost their job market competitiveness.
The relentless pursuit of external validation can lead Gen Z students to overlook essential connections with themselves and their community.

Let's support our students in managing these pressures and fostering mental well-being.
