Don't Miss This Stop on Your College Tour
We neglected to make mention that last week was Mental Health Awareness Week, but the subject is an important one any time of the year; especially for students heading off to college.
Checking out the mental health services on campus may not be the most exciting thing to do on a college tour, but it can be the most important.
Most mental illnesses — such as anxiety, bipolar, and depression – emerge with symptoms for the first time between the years 18 to 25.
All students –those who have had mental health struggles in high school and those who haven’t – will be adjusting to a new environment with the temptations of late nights, a lack of set schedules, and no parental monitoring of drug and alcohol use.
You and your student will want to know that there are places to turn to if guidance and support are needed.
