Mental health concerns are a significant challenge for college students across the country. While the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated mental health challenges, it did not create them. Mental health symptoms among college students have been rising dramatically for the past decade, and the easing of the pandemic will not make them evaporate. These symptoms cause distress in all aspects of students' lives. In terms of college, they can affect a student's ability to focus on their academic work--and result in lower grades and a higher likelihood of withdrawing from classes. According to the 2023 Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and 2023 Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE), community colleges must act to better support their students, and colleges' actions must be grounded in a better understanding of their students' mental health and well-being. CCSSE and SENSE respondents report high levels of mental health concerns. Most CCSSE respondents are returning students, and all SENSE respondents are entering students. The similarities in the two surveys' findings indicate that colleges should intervene early and continue to support students throughout their college experience. The importance of early intervention is further supported by the fact that roughly 40% of community college students do not persist from their first fall enrollment to the following fall.
