Today’s college students, also known as the iGeneration, are accomplished, tech natives and driven. Yet as many as 35% live with mental health conditions that can challenge their career path through college and beyond.

- Gain a toolbox of strategies to help college students achieve their career goals
- Feel empowered to communicate with students about wellness management strategies to support their career development
