Program Abstract:
Nine out of ten young adults report they have gone online for health information. About half of students who drop out due to a behavioral health concern have never accessed mental health services even amidst the ever-climbing rates of college counseling capacity. Therefore, there is a high need for universal approaches that reach beyond the counseling center to touch all aspects of student experience while promoting easy access to resources and health and well-being information.
