Hello! I'm a high school junior and mental health is really important to me. I'm wondering how colleges typically handle mental health support for students on campus. Any insights or experiences would be helpful. Thank you!
Hi there! It's great to see that you're prioritizing mental health during your college search. Colleges typically offer various levels of support for students' mental well-being. Most institutions have counseling centers that provide confidential services such as therapy sessions, group workshops, and crisis intervention.
In addition to the counseling center, some colleges may also have mental health clubs or organizations run by students to promote mental health awareness and provide a supportive environment to discuss these issues.
Don't hesitate to research each college's mental health resources and reach out with any questions to their counseling centers.
