Developing resilience is critical to student success. Difficult situations can arise at any point, but during this new chapter of independence, college students — who may already be experiencing many new stressors all at once, such as busy class schedules, extracurriculars, and competing work, studying and social demands — might find encountering setbacks and obstacles demoralizing or even derailing. While students with healthy resilience are able to adapt and tackle obstacles that arise, others who lack resilience may develop anxiety, depression or unhealthy coping strategies.
Learning to navigate challenges that arise during this important transition period can set students up for lifelong success. Many colleges are developing resiliency programming to address elevated stress levels of college students and equip them with the tools they need to face roadblocks.
