Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to interrogate issues of mental health and well-being of female students and faculty after the devastating effects of COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter further explores strategies that can be used to enhance the mental health and well-being of female students and faculty in order to enhance their optimal functioning. There has been growing global interest in mental health, with increasing concern over mental health difficulties among female students and faculty in colleges and universities. Academic pressure, social isolation, disruption in education, demands posed by online learning and other uncertainties acted as challenges that impacted students' mental health. Female students and faculty may experience heightened psychological distress resulting in PTSD, anxiety, and depression due to poor mental health and wellbeing. To have quality mental health and well-being, female students and lecturers should take steps to protect and support their mental health throughout life.
