Abstract

Over the last decade, there has been growing concern for the well-being of university students, especially in relation to the lasting negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. A decline in this population’s overall mental health due to increasing rates of anxiety, depression, and stress has been observed1 and students who don’t feel a sense of belonging at their university are especially at risk.2 Substance abuse issues across university campuses have also steadily increased.3.
