Colleges Boost Mental Health Support

Edited by: Liliya Shabalina

Colleges are significantly increasing mental health services due to rising student demand.

A 2025 survey shows 73% of students believe mental health support helps them graduate.

Institutions are integrating mental health services, including teletherapy programs.

However, staffing shortages remain a challenge, with 55% of public schools citing insufficient mental health professionals.

Colleges are adopting innovative approaches like Mental Health First Aid to broaden support networks.

These efforts aim to meet student needs and ensure academic success.
