On this show, host Will Heckman and Dr. Yair Maman have a conversation about a topic that is near and dear to our hearts, education, and the educational system. Few people outside of the system realize the pressures put on those who are involved with the teaching and care of our young adults. And for the students, previous research indicates that unchecked academic-related stress can reduce academic achievement, decrease motivation and increase the risk of school dropout. The longer-term impacts, which include reduced likelihood of sustainable employment, cost governments billions of dollars each year. A conversation about the impact of academic-related stress, including a discussion of the impact on students’ learning capacity and academic performance, mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, sleep disturbances, and substance use is long overdue.
