What We Know About the Mental Health of Students of Color during College
A Review and Call to Action
Vanessa V. Volpe, M.A.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
ABSTRACT
With the combined increased mental health needs of today’s college students and more students of color attending college than ever before, the mental health thriving of college students of color remains a key issue for researchers and practitioners. While college may be a stressful time for many individuals regardless of their racial/ethnic background, students of color often face additional unique risks to their mental health thriving during college. Therefore, the aim of the present paper is twofold: 1) to survey what is known both about the mental health challenges and strengths of college students of color, and 2) to provide new directions and recommendations for treatment professionals, college personnel, and institutions in supporting the mental health thriving of college students of color.
This work was supported by the Steve Fund to foster research on the mental health and emotional well-being of young people of color.

What Parents of College Students of Color Need to Know
By Dr. Annelle B. Primm, M.D., M.P.H.
Medical Expert, The Steve Fun
Often when young people of color move on to college, there are significant changes not only in their lives, but in the lives of their parents as well. While they navigate new territories, parents and other family members must navigate new ways to assist them in their journey. Having knowledge and strategies to be informed and to assist this exciting but sometimes challenging phase in young people’s lives can make a fundamental difference in this experience.

The university environment, quality of the university experience, and the “feel” of the campus community can have sizable effects on the mental well-being of young people of color. Speakers in this panel will address the forces at play within the university environment, the scope and scale of the challenges they present, and their impact on the adjustment and overall success of aspiring young people of color during their college years and early adulthood. Experts will compare the distinctive mental health challenges of the college years and environment to those of other life stages and settings. Experiences of marginality and belonging and how they contribute to overall well-being of students of color will also be examined.

Speakers in the videos present their cutting-edge research in affective science and social psychology that demonstrates the ways in which our cultures, subjective mindsets, and identities shape young people’s emotions, feeling states, and experiences of mental health and well- being. Cultural differences in how we ideally want to feel, as well as what we want to avoid feeling, can powerfully shape young people’s emotional experiences and responses as well as psychological health. Likewise, changes in our subjective mindsets, or the lenses through which we perceive and interpret our experiences, can shape how young people experience and respond to emotional states—for example, viewing stress as something that either enhances or debilitates your performance, i.e., your “stress mindset,” can influence one’s behavioral responses to and physiological experiences of stress. Implications for supporting the psychological and emotional health of young adults and young adults of color in elite college environments will be discussed.
