Sleepless nights aren't unheard of for most college students, but that doesn't mean it should be the norm. For students, the ongoing pandemic, workload and mental health struggles have added to restless nights.
The latest episode of Curry Health Centerâs new student-run podcast aired Friday on KBGA, touching on stress resiliency and the Recognize Allow Investigate and Nurture (RAIN) technique for stress management.
This was The Health Buzz podcastâs third episode since its creation last fall, from Curry Health Center Wellness. The episode featured Curryâs interim director of counseling, Tracee Anderson.
Anderson said that the student perspective the podcast adds to the University of Montana is vital.
âThere are all these professionals; and with the faculty, and the staff and the administration and the health professionals that are doing what we can to support students. we don t have that current, lived student experience, And so the voice of the students, and what itâs like to be a student, is so important for people to talk about and hear,â Anderson said.

Jay’s story
Jay is a transgender man who competed in equestrian throughout high school and college, including through his transition during college. Below, he describes his experience navigating his transition and team, excerpted from an interview he participated in with the author of this report.
Jay’s quotes, and quotes throughout the report, may have been edited for length and/or clarity.
I came out to my equestrian team first. I sent out an email to the entire team, including the coaches, coming out to them. I knew they were going to be supportive because I walked into the barn the next day and my name had already been crossed out on the board and corrected with the name that I had sent them in the email literally 12 hours prior.

Among the many negative effects of COVID-19, deteriorating mental health of post-secondary students has been one of the most serious and widespread.
Mental health stressors are a major issue for post-secondary students in particular, though the pandemic has only exacerbated a growing crisis in Canada.
“Things were going downhill in mental health for students across North America before COVID,” says Paul Ritvo, a psychology professor at York University who has been studying the effects of mindfulness on student mental health. “What COVID has done is it has put health and health science in the top headlines, and we have become a more health-oriented society.”
