At colleges and universities across the country, we have seen and increasing number of students with serious psychological problems. The complexity and severity of these problems has overburdened available counseling services on most campuses, and the number of students on medication for these issues has had an impact on health centers as well. This progessional development opportunity will provide a forum for examining the scope of the problem on campus and for exploriing both an overall framework for mental health promotion and specific strategies individual campuses may have implemented with success.
Call for programs:
