New Study: What’s Broken On Our Campuses

New Study: What’s Broken On Our Campuses:





Are college counseling centers actually taking care of the students they’re intended to serve? A new study has the answers.  Out of 765 college students with mental health issues, more than 60% left school because of these problems, reports a study from the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Here are some interesting findings:

• 27% listed depression as their health issue
• 24% had bipolar disorder
• 11% had anxiety
• 12% reported health issues including eating disorders, autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

When these students were asked how supportive their schools were of their mental health issues:

• 35% said not very supportive
• 25% said somewhat supportive
• 24% said supportive
• 11% said very supportive

The connection between withdrawing from school and campus counseling services?

Some students said they were unaware of the services provided by their schools; others knew about the services but didn’t find them particularly helpful.

What should schools be doing to make students aware of mental health services — and help them take advantage of them? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

“The Many Manifestations of Addiction"

What Brand Is Your Therapist?

In the summer of 2011, after I completed six years of graduate school and internship training and was about to start my psychotherapy practice, I sat down with my clinical supervisor in the Los Angeles office we’d be sharing. It had been a rigorous six years, transitioning from my role as a full-time journalist always on tight deadlines to that of a therapist whose world was broken into slow, thoughtful hours listening and trying to help people come to a deeper understanding of their lives. My supervisor went over the filing systems, billing procedures and ethical quandaries like whether to take referrals from current clients, but we never discussed how I would get these clients. I fully assumed, in what now seems like an astounding fit of naïveté, that I’d send out an e-mail announcement and network with doctors, and to paraphrase “Field of Dreams,” if I built it, they would come.
