Title:
The Future of Student Mental Health Services
Date & Time:
Friday January 15, 1:15 pm - 2:15 pm
Abstract:
The salience of key trends shaping the future of student mental health services has been magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic. These trends include prevalence, severity, expectations, social distancing, access, leveraging campus resources, cost, and equity. Taken together they strongly suggest that colleges and universities should undertake bold steps to redesign their student mental health services. New approaches should emphasize student-centered options that utilize new technologies and enable off-campus delivery through vendor partnerships.

1: Identify the key trends driving the future of student mental health services.
2: Recognize the importance of redesigning the delivery of college mental health services.
