Abstract
College is intended to prepare students to become successful members of society. However, the academic demands of college can trigger stress and mental health problems. College students are in a unique position where they have to juggle academics, a social life, and, often, part-time jobs. As a result, college students are a particularly vulnerable group when it comes to stress and mental health issues. One subset of students facing the struggles of college achievements are pre-med students. Pre-med students face numerous challenges that can negatively impact their mental health. The academic pressures, financial stress, lack of social support, and relationship challenges, among others, can increase the risk of depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. The team of contributing authors on this chapter will address mental health in the higher education environment. This chapter will present a program for educators, peer students, and staff to provide mental health assistance for the premedical student.
