AUSTIN, Texas — University of Texas at Austin junior Anna Monleon is no stranger to answering tough questions.
However, as a neuroscience and psychology major, she appreciates a new survey aimed at improving student mental health through a collaborative effort. One of the key pieces of the new College Student Mental Wellness Advocacy Coalition, 24 leading housing providers and nonprofit groups such as the Austin-based, Hi, How Are You Project, have set out to poll nearly 800,000 students across Texas and the United States.“We just kind of expected or hoped they’d be able do it independently and we’re realized this is so hard to navigate,” adult psychiatrist and HHAYP board member, Dr. Sonia Krishna said.
“As adults, we think we know, but we need to hear from them,” Krishna said. “This generation is very vocal. They just need to be asked.”
