After this session, attendees should be able to:
- Discuss the pros and cons of past, present, and future models of mental health care on college campuses.
- Describe innovations happening at the presenter’s campus.
- Describe the urgent care model of mental health for college counseling centers, and suggestions for how they were achieved that may be used on other campuses.
Program Abstract:
University counseling centers are at a point where the traditional model of service is no longer viable due to increased demand. Improved staffing can have a temporary positive impact. However, the structural problems in our centers that create access issues, frustrated students, and burned out staff remain intact. This presentation will discuss trends in campus mental health models, innovations at the presenter’s campus, and a vision for an urgent care model for mental health.
