New program aims to ease mental health crisis among poor health students

This study tests three types of support—individual counseling, group stress and budget workshops, or a mix—for health students aged 18-30 who face financial hardship. About 110 students from the University of Rouen will try these programs, and researchers will track changes in anxiety, depression, stress, and quality of life over several months. The goal is to see if practical, co-designed help can improve well-being and connect students to existing resources.
