Private School Students and Post-Pandemic Well-Being: A Report

Before the pandemic, many schools realized they had reached a tipping point regarding student health and safety. Increasing academic demands designed to position students to compete successfully for limited enrollment invitations to prestigious universities were harming students’ long-term success and well-being. Simultaneously, sharp increases in mental health issues and suicides among those under 18 were rightfully fueling concerns.

Since the pandemic’s start, a new set of stressors has affected students’ well-being, and many schools have placed student mental health as a top issue to address. In this webinar, Dr. Bryan Smyth—ISM Senior Consultant and Director of Research—will share what ISM has learned about the status of student well-being.
