ACCESSING THE ACCESSIBILITY AND CREDIBILITY OF MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH SOCAL AMONG JABU UNDERGRADUATES

Consequently, there is a need to critically evaluate not just whether students are accessing mental health information, but the nature and impact of that content. For undergraduates at Joseph Ayo Babalola University, a faith-based institution, there may be additional layers of interpretation regarding mental health. Cultural and religious perspectives can influence how students interpret mental health symptoms and whether they choose to engage with professional or spiritual forms of care (Atilola, 2016). Social media may serve as a bridge between traditional beliefs and modern psychology, offering a space where faith-based and scientific approaches to mental well-being can coexist or at least engage in dialogue.
