What's it all about?
The MindBody Connection provides UMKC students with opportunities to enhance their emotional, mental, and physical health in support of academic
success.
We know it can be hard to be a successful college student. In fact, UMKC students report these as the top five barriers to their academic performance:
| UMKC Barriers to Academic Performance * | |
| Stress | 36.5% |
| Cold/flu/sore throat | 28.8% |
| Sleep difficulties | 27.0% |
| Depression/anxiety | 22.6% |
| Concern for family/friend | 18.7% |
* Percentage of students reporting these barriers based on the Spring 2008 UMKC ACHA-NCHA Data, n=365
