Reaching Out to College Students w/ Depression
Posted on September 28th, 2008
NPR ran an excellent story on campus mental health last week. And while it was set on the campus of Johns Hopkins University, the outreach the story describes could serve as a model for successfully dealing with mental health issues on any campus.
The story quotes Richard Kadison, a college mental health at Harvard University, who says that the stress of the transition to college can bring out depression and other problems. In addition, he says, "more people with diagnoses are going to college because they get treated earlier, and with treatment people are able to get to college, students who never would have been able to get to college in the past."
How does a campus deal successfully with that? Listen to the story here.
