Students Under Pressure

Despite a pressing need, an increasing number of students are struggling with getting treatment for their mental health issues in college. The data from the Center for Collegiate Mental Health — that more than 30 percent of students who seek services for mental health issues report that they have seriously considered suicide at some point in their lives, up from about 24 percent in 2010 — was most significant in my opinion. Also, the story discusses how psychologists are working to address the problem of supply/demand problem on college campuses using online therapist-assisted programs. .
