SUMMARY:The Loneliness Epidemic on College Campuses
DESCRIPTION:Loneliness among American adults has increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 36 percent of all Americans\, including 61 percent of young adults (aged 18-25)\, report feeling lonely frequently or almost all the time or all the time. The 2024 Student Financial Wellness Survey demonstrates the “loneliness epidemic” extends to students. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we will share how colleges and universities can promote positive mental health and reduce loneliness among students by fostering social connection\, developing or enhancing low-cost or no-charge counseling and mental health services\, and creating supportive\, inclusive environments. \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n\nAllyson Cornett\, Director of Research\, Trellis Strategies

SUMMARY:The Hidden Educational Barrier: Public Benefit Programs
DESCRIPTION:Many people from low-income backgrounds face significant barriers accessing and completing postsecondary credentials. Socioeconomic barriers include affordability challenges and insufficient financial aid that was built on assumptions of parental support\, as well as a lack of advocacy and awareness needed to navigate complex systems. A lesser understood barrier is the way that public benefit programs not only hinder access and completion of credentials and degrees but how they actively prevent it. \n\n\n\nJoin us to better understand how restrictions on education in public benefit programs cut off pathways that can move people from poverty to prosperity. We will discuss how public benefits and postsecondary education intersect as well as opportunities that exist to reduce barriers across policies and programs. \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n\nCarrie Welton\, Senior Policy Strategist\, Trellis Strategies
