Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, v13 p2-11 2020
With the increased incidence of poor mental health in young adults, health promotion strategies are needed on campuses. World Cafés were held to facilitate discussion around three main topics: thoughts about findings emerging from a recent health survey; resources currently available on campus; and strategies or resources needed to improve student well-being. Participants readily provided insight into mental health concerns among students, and their recommendations focused primarily on creating a culture of well-being in the university, with more professional support services and greater health promotion. Overall, the World Café approach provided an effective method to engage students and discuss possible strategies to promote better mental health on campus.
