The Institute is administering this survey, last done here in Spring 2018, to get a better understanding of the mental health of Tech students and to address\u0026nbsp;specific needs.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENationally, the survey was first launched in 2007 and has since been fielded at about 300 colleges and universities, with over 300,000 survey respondents. Past surveys conducted at Georgia Tech have shown\u0026nbsp;that approximately 30% of students are experiencing at least one significant mental health problem, such as depression, anxiety disorders, suicidal thoughts, self-injury, or symptoms of eating disorders. Having updated results from HMS will increase awareness of student mental health and provide an opportunity to expand programs and services.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStudents are encouraged to complete the survey to help in these efforts.

All surveys administered to our students seek to identify\u0026nbsp;areas for\u0026nbsp;improvement in Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s practices and policies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStudents who received the invitation for participation in the Healthy Minds Study\u0026nbsp;have until Feb.\u0026nbsp;7 to complete it.
