4th paragraph- solutions (perhaps what might be serving as to address the identified problems)

In light with the aforementioned problems and issues above, there is an urgent need to
pay attention to and support student’s mental health. According to a recent study (De Girolamo
G, et al.) it is essential to assess the learners’ stress levels and psychosocial adjustment to plan
for necessary support mechanisms to be provided, especially during the recovery phase on this
pandemic, as well as for similar events in the future. Widespread forced adoption of telehealth
services on schools to deliver psychiatric and mental health support is one of the best way to
cope with stress, anxiety and depression. Just like how Sanvello, a mobile mental health service
application with self-help content like learning modules and relaxation recordings help with
mental health tracking and awareness (Erekson, et al.), was used by a university. College
students also may seek support from others. Communicating with their families and friends is the
primary way to deal with mental health problems as well as acceptance and proactive habits, for
example, are considered to have a positive effect on mental health (Cappella E, et al). In
addition, professors will definitely help their students through technical aspects such as making
pre-recorded video lectures, assessing the workloads to be given on them and setting time limits
for complying which are just and reasonable. Afterall, effective online directions encourage
learners to provide feedback, which prompts them to ask questions and broadens their
understanding of the course content (Keeton, 2004).
