THE Growing Mental Health Crisis
In today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving world, mental health has become an increasingly pressing issue. As we navigate societal shifts, technological advancements, and global challenges, studies show a steady rise in mental health concerns across all age groups. The toll is particularly alarming among younger generations, growing up in unprecedented pressure, uncertainty, and digital hyper-connectivity.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), such as abuse or neglect, are linked to long-term physical and mental health challenges. Recent research shows that stress, especially from ACEs, can also impact gut health. Chronic stress can disrupt gut bacteria and lead to digestive issues like IBS. Understanding the connection between ACEs, stress, and gut health could help develop better ways to support both the mental and physical well-being of those affected by early life trauma.

OUR FOCUS
OUR FOCUS
To better understand how we can support mental health, it is essential to examine the various underlying factors that contribute to mental decline. Our research focuses on the interplay between school-related stress, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and gastrointestinal (GI) issues in college students. We aim to uncover how psychological stress, academic pressure, and extracurricular involvement contribute to the exacerbation of GI issues, shedding light on the complex connections between mental and physical well-being.
