Program Abstract: Large numbers of students come to college either already taking psychotropic medications or they are diagnosed with a chronic psychiatric condition after arriving. Counseling Centers traditionally have defined their scope of practice as consisting of short term assistance for normal developmental concerns, while the students with chronic illnesses have been referred off campus. Increased psychiatric services on campus highlights the disconnect between tradition and current reality. This workshop will discuss preliminary results of a survey of mental health services and approaches to addressing the increased need for ongoing services for students with chronic mental health needs.
