7.7. if education on the subject of mental health and wellbeing has been identified as an important student issue, but one that is difficult to address due to a lack of resources, would it not stand within reason to integrate its delivery into high-impact practices such as orientation, first-year seminars, and advising? Given that required high-impact practices are a possible reasonable solution to making education more equitable and accessible, and deliver education on hot-topic issues such as mental health and success strategies, how can high-impact practices be leveraged to tackle trending issues, in higher education?
