Abstract

There is increasing evidence that students face i) mental health challenges, ii) these challenges have increased following the Covid-19 pandemic, and iii) isolation has had a negative impact on student mental health. However, few studies offer practical pedagogical solutions with strategies to enhance student mental wellbeing. In a blended learning environment, during the Covid pandemic, we develop a mental health teaching intervention that promotes collaborative learning (theory) and group cohesion to enhance student mental wellbeing. Using a mixed method approach, questionnaire data (85) provides empirical evidence that a collaborative learning mental health intervention has been successful in promoting student wellbeing. We also provide evidence that seeking help from professionals has an incrementally positive influence on student mental health. The results of this study can therefore be used to inform administrators and educators about student mental health care in normal times, as well as future disaster scenarios.
