Why it’s critical to have a highly responsive 24/7 Mental Health Support Line for College Students

College is a time for students to have new and exciting experiences, and it can come with its fair share of challenges, making adjusting to college life hard for many.

The Impact of the Student Mental Health Crisis on Faculty

Amidst stalled contract negotiations, the faculty at the University of Illinois Chicago went on strike in part to demand the expansion of campus mental health services—but not for themselves. They hoped to outsource care for their students, an overwhelming number of whom have been struggling emotionally and turning to their instructors for help. “Right now, UIC faculty are winging it… and I’m not trained on how I should be supporting these students. I didn’t get a degree in that,” UIC senior lecturer and union official Charitianne Williams told NPR Illinois. “I have a degree in English.”

College Athlete Mental Health

It’s a common prescription for complaints of everyday stress: “Get some exercise. You’ll feel better.” Time and again, research has shown that regular physical activity can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
