Abstract

The mental health of students in higher education environments has become an increasingly deep concern due to its impact on their well-being and academic performance. This study aims to explore the relationship between participation in mental health programs and the mental well-being of students. Through a survey of 500 students and in-depth interviews with a number of participants. The research results show that students who actively participate in mental health programs tend to have lower levels of stress, lower levels of depression, and higher levels of life satisfaction compared to those who do not participate. The implications of these findings indicate the importance of promoting and supporting student participation in mental health programs in higher education institutions to enhance their mental well-being. Thus, these results provide a deeper understanding of how mental health programs can contribute to students' mental well-being, as well as highlighting the need for collaborative approaches between educational institutions and welfare services to create supportive environments for student mental health.
