Journal of American college health : J of ACH July 23, 2025 Linda Yaron Weston
A university for-credit mindfulness course helped students gain confidence in navigating life challenges and improved their mental and emotional well-being. The course, offered over 15 weeks from 2019 to 2024, was evaluated using 522 student course evaluations, 64 surveys, and transcripts from two student panels. Data were analyzed through both qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings suggest that integrating well-being courses into the curriculum and faculty training is a promising practice for higher education institutions aiming to sustainably support student mental health.
