How are educational institutions like Harvard responding to students' mental health challenges related to political stress?

Harvard has introduced therapy animals as part of their mental health support services to help students cope with political-related stress and anxiety. This innovative approach represents institutional recognition that political events and policy changes can significantly impact student well-being and academic performance. The therapy animal program serves as a coping mechanism for students experiencing what some describe as political "derangement syndromes," offering emotional support during times of heightened political tension and uncertainty.
