Abstract :

This paper examines the potential benefits of enhancing positivity and resilience in students at colleges and universities through structured interventions. Many students struggle to keep their academic, social, and personal responsibilities in line, which causes them distress, procrastination, and undesirable mental health outcomes. Literature review shows that for well-being among students, those skills of time management, stress management, and an academic-life balance are extremely crucial. In addition, the use of positive psychology principles, including resilience building and growth mind-sets, has been proven to increase the resiliency and self-confidence in students. Campus-based support systems, including mentorship programs, community-building activities, as well as mental health resources, also have a significant impact on nurturing an environment that supports and cares for students. Analysing the results reveals that students who experience high institutional support and are given resources both practically and emotionally display better academic performance, life satisfaction, and stronger coping abilities. Surprising results indicate that the perceptions of institutional care play a more significant role in student engagement and motivation. In short, the present role of colleges and universities in relation to managing stress, challenges, or view constructively with regard to growth, academic or personal, requires integrated support, which is discussed within the study.
