68% of students reported that they are NOT flourishing in regards to their mental health. This is a statistically significant increase from the 2019 data.

Trusted faculty and staff members are key components of how students learn about, and navigate to, our resources. This toolkit is intended to provide information on how you can support students in accessing resources that are right for them, as well as options specifically for employees.

In January – February 2022, MRU took part in the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) survey. The NCHA survey is a valid and reliable, web-based, survey created by the American College Health Association. It collects data on students’ habits, behaviours, and perceptions of various health topics. MRU takes part in the survey every three years. In 2022, 1,393 students responded to the survey (a 35% response rate).


*Students were asked 14 questions to determine a diagnosis of positive mental health. The measurement tool was developed by Corey L. Keyes to measure emotional, psychological and social well-being. Responses to the 14 questions are summarized into 3 categories to describe mental health-- languishing, moderate, and flourishing.
