Description
Summary:The mental health and wellbeing of university faculty and students have become critical areas of concern in recent years. Depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, isolation, lack of support, an overwork culture, and a highly competitive environment are increasingly linked to careers in university education. These issues are exacerbated by growing pressures from university structures, increasing student numbers, diverse student needs, and the heavy burden of research (Hammoudi Halat, Soltani, Dalli, Alsarraj, & Malki, 2023). To counter these challenges, a collaborative effort at the organizational level is essential, with strategic initiatives aimed at leadership and implemented by faculty to promote their wellbeing.
