Key worldwide mental health findings from Chegg’s 2025 Global Student Survey include: More than half (55%) of respondents reported not sleeping enough 44% experienced daily feelings of anxiety 43% reported suffering from academic burnout More than one in three (35%) reported difficulty meeting new people and making friends “The urgency to elevate global conversations about student mental health has never been greater,” said Nathan Schultz, President and CEO of Chegg, Inc. “At Chegg, we believe that supporting student mental health isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s essential for empowering students to thrive academically, personally, and beyond the classroom.

Through this year’s theme, ‘In It Together,’ we hope to highlight that strong support networks — whether through peers, family, campus services, or online resources — are essential to helping students look after their mental well-being.” The non-profits and organizations Chegg has partnered with for this year’s Global Student Mental Health Week include Active Minds, Ayrton Senna Institute, Big Change, Born This Way Foundation, The Jed Foundation (JED), MABASTA, Nivishe Foundation, Our Minds Matter, PAVE, San Jose Earthquakes, and Young Invincibles.
