This comprehensive edited collection brings together the latest research, case studies, institutional policies, and best practices pertaining to student mental health, wellbeing, and university experiences.

University students are navigating an increasingly complex landscape, facing a multitude of challenges that can put their mental health and overall wellbeing at significant risk. From adapting to new social environments and escalating expenses, to global crises, social injustices, and an uncertain future job market, students are grappling with a range of stressors that can take a toll on their psychological wellbeing. In response to this growing crisis, the editors present a diverse range of chapters that explore topics such as improving students' sense of belonging, supporting student transitions into university, and educational approaches to support student engagement and wellbeing.

Providing a holistic and multifaceted examination of this critical issue, this is an invaluable resource for educators, administrators, policymakers, and stakeholders committed to creating supportive and nurturing environments that foster student mental health and success.
