Struggling PhD mums: The need for a supportive environment for mental wellbeing

PhD students have to deal with intense academic pressure and high costs. But the supports they receive is not equal to the challenges they face, putting many at risk of stress and even depression.

In collaboration with our authors, The Conversation Indonesia has published a series, “Jalan Terjal Doktoral” (The PhD Struggle), to shed the light on what doctoral students are going through. It also encourages us to think about the urgent need for both financial and non-financial support for PhD students.
