In a new McMaster study, faculty and research staff report increased feelings of anxiety and depression since the pandemic began, and offer suggestions that will guide the university to create better supports for them.
The new initiative will provide a hub for interdisciplinary collaboration on mental health research among academics, students, and community members.
Sociologist Marisa Young is leading new research at McMaster, in partnership with the World Health Organization, to understand students' experiences and needs, and to help develop mental-health solutions.
