Graduate students are undeniably integral to the higher education, labor market, and research ecosystem. Relatively little scholarship has focused specifically on the issue of graduate student mental wellness. However, this is an unrefuted area of concern for higher education institutions, and the acceptance that unique factors affect this group's mental wellness. This workshop will combine insights from two critical domains to provide a framework for understanding graduate student mental wellness: the graduate and higher education ecosystem and the mental health ecosystem. Results of a literature review which takes a systemic approach to looking at reasons and solutions for graduate mental health concerns by focusing on factors at all levels that interact with graduate students, institution, program, faculty and supervisor, and individual student, will be presented. Given, the complexity of the issues, the solutions themselves are multi-faceted. This workshop will present a preliminary framework to approach improving graduate student mental wellness.
