College students are facing a variety of challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic has been escalating and threatening the welfare of human beings globally, and this public health emergency generates fear and leads to a spectrum of psychological consequences (Liu et al., 2020), ranging from distress responses such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, to behavioral changes such as difficulty sleeping and stress eating. Before the pandemic started, one in five college students have experienced one or more diagnosable mental disorders worldwide (Auerbach et al., 2016), and the psychological effects of COVID-19 can increase this number and exacerbate collegiate mental health issues.
