The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a sudden transition from traditional face-to-face instruction to online and blended learning. The repercussions of this seismic change have left an indelible mark on students, particularly those thrust into the challenging realm of fully engaging in online learning during this tumultuous period. As we navigate the delicate landscape of higher education post-pandemic, a critical gap in scholarly literature becomes glaringly apparent; there is a scarcity of focused works addressing the nuanced well-being of students in this new academic reality. Mental Health Crisis in Higher Education is a groundbreaking book that boldly steps into this void, offering a comprehensive and meticulously researched examination of the challenges faced by students transitioning from secondary to higher education amid the pandemic. By delving into stressors, coping mechanisms, and the intricate web of factors influencing emotional, psychological, and physical well-being, the book is an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, and institutions seeking to understand and address the multifaceted dimensions of student well-being. The book identifies the gaps in current literature but illuminates pathways to navigate them. From the exploration of risk and protective factors for mental health to insights into institutional support strategies, Mental Health Crisis in Higher Education serves as a beacon of scholarly excellence, offering practical solutions and a roadmap for fostering resilience in students and creating a supportive academic environment. In a world saturated with general literature on well-being, this book stands out as a vital tailored resource, providing essential insights for those committed to shaping a positive and thriving future for higher education in the post-COVID era.
