Mental Health
Navigating the path to psychological well-being
Statistics show that today’s college students are facing more complex and severe mental health problems than the students of past decades. Over one-quarter of freshmen feel overwhelmed on a regular basis, and nearly 10 percent struggle with feeling sad and unmotivated. While most students’ problems subside following their freshman year, a significant proportion of students experience chronic levels of distress that won’t subside as time progresses without professional intervention.
Despite the increase in the number of students requiring help, many communities are closing mental health centers, so students have fewer and fewer places to turn for off-campus counseling. This has placed a great strain on the counseling staff on most college campuses.
