Reframing Our Campus Mental Health Discussion

The conventional wisdom is that higher education is in the midst of a student mental health crisis. 


Could it be that conventional wisdom is wrong? 


Might we reframe the growing utilization of campus mental health services as a positive development? 


Is it possible that the growing number of students seeking and receiving help for challenges related to anxiety, depression, relationship problems and stress (the top reasons that students access services) is an indication of a more enlightened generation?


 One that is strong enough to ask for help, rather than the fragile and needy people that today’s college students are so often labeled? 


There is no doubt that the demand for campus mental health services is increasing.
