“Today’s students learn differently and face increasing well-being challenges, especially as technology becomes more prevalent in classrooms,” he says in a press release.

Mental health and isolation are among the most pressing issues for students. Studies show that 24% of first-year students drop out due to mental or financial challenges, while 75% of international students feel lonely.

“Educational institutions are navigating budget constraints, declining student enrollment and a growing mental health crisis. Unihelper’s mission is to become the partner of choice for creating meaningful relationships between students in higher education to help solve these challenges,” says Jacob Nielsen of UniHelper.io.
