LearningWell Magazine recently published a profile of the work of multiple colleges partnering with the Endeavor Foundation to create programs and initiatives incorporating mental health support throughout the college experience. The piece “A Collective Behavior” features important work completed by Blackburn College as part of this cohort.

“Meanwhile, in the Midwest, Blackburn College in Carlinville, IL, conducted a Mental Health Needs Assessment to identify the status of student wellbeing on campus and helped college leaders locate areas for improvement. Now, the survey will expand from Blackburn into a multi-institution survey that will help all twelve Endeavor Lab institutions collect data on life experience, mental health, sense of belonging, and self-care behaviors among their students, creating a collective database for tracking and supporting mental health and wellness across the ELCs.”
