Community resources refer to non-clinical supports that students can tap into to maintain health or address stress and other mental health concerns. These community resources provide opportunities for connection, involvement, and engagement, all of which have been shown to support wellbeing.
Community resources can be helpful in addressing precursors or triggers to stress, such as academic or financial problems, and may also create opportunities to engage with others in activities that support wellbeing, such as exercise, social engagement, healthy eating, and the arts.
