Abstract

This chapter critically examines the institutional support systems aimed at supporting the mental health of students within the University of Namibia. The shift from childhood to adulthood brings with it special difficulties, leaving students open to a range of stresses that can negatively impact their mental health. This research examines common mental health problems among students, such as stress and anxiety, with a particular focus at the University of Namibia. The study highlights the necessity of an all-encompassing strategy that considers social, emotional, and intellectual aspects in order to create an environment where students can flourish both academically and mentally. This chapter adds to the continuing conversation on mental health in higher education by advocating for additional improvements and identifying successful initiatives.
