Highmark Center
for Health and Wellness.

Problem.

Many students struggle with escalating mental health challenges, yet traditional therapy often lacks timely access due to waitlists and scheduling limitations. This delays necessary intervention, potentially worsening mental health issues and impacting academic performance and overall well-being. Instant access to qualified therapists through innovative solutions can significantly improve student support, enabling timely intervention and promoting positive mental health outcomes.

Solution.

Empowering student connection and well-being: Crafted a brand and relaxation spaces designed for maximum student engagement. Building a vibrant student community: Branded experience and dedicated relaxation havens attract and energize university students. Investing in student success: Strategic branding and dedicated relaxation spaces promote a thriving and connected student body.


 

Outcome.

Unraveling passionate online engagement's link to Gen Z's declining resilience could boost awareness, spark solutions, and empower them, but careful research and collaboration are crucial to avoid oversimplification, stigma, and privacy concerns.
