Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research study was to identify the services available in California community college and to identify effective practices that support students with psychological disabilities in this setting to be successful. With the passage of Proposition 63 in California, the Mental Health Services Act of November 2004 became law and a taxpayer's taxable income in excess of one million dollars now has an additional 1% tax. These funds were to be used to transform the public mental health systems without supplanting existing mental health budgets. These funds would support the development of new services in the community colleges in conjunction with the California Department of Mental Health. This study will analyze the data from a survey that collected information on services currently available at the community colleges in California and services that are desired by college staff to provide necessary support to students with psychological disabilities. A quantitative analysis was conducted on the data, collected in May, 2009, through a survey of the 110 community colleges throughout the state of California. The survey selected by the California Community College's Chancellors Office was modified from previous surveys under the title of a National Survey of Counseling Center Directors in four-year colleges and universities by adding questions. Selected individuals at the Chancellors office maintained most of the questions in the survey and inserted additional questions in the area of location of services, services to student veterans and campus clubs. A chi-square was done to analyze observed responses with expected frequencies. Comparison of California results with the National Counselor Center Directors used descriptive statistics to evaluate trends in the two different college systems. Findings indicate that dividing the community colleges by department affiliation was necessary for the collection of responses, but did not provide for significant differences in services among the four departments. The frequency of responses to a survey question provided valuable information when identifying trends for the community colleges. The data reveal some similarities in the descriptions of responses when comparing the California Community Colleges with the National four-year colleges with the use of college size. Based on these findings, recommendations for practices and processes were made in the collaboration of services both internal and external, the development of training materials for faculty and staff, and the development of a standard in California for the type of information collected on services for students using mental health supports.

Book Synopsis The California Community College Student Mental Health Program by : Isabel Reyna
Download or read book The California Community College Student Mental Health Program written by Isabel Reyna and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students experiencing mental illnesses find their campus experience challenging for a number of reasons, including the enduring and detrimental stigma so strongly associated with mental illnesses. With one in three undergraduate students reported feeling so depressed it was difficult to function, and with 86% of students with mental illnesses are expected to withdraw from college before obtaining their degree, the importance of propagating mental health awareness and encouraging help-seeking behavior is vital (Salzer, 2012). Students at higher risk for mental health issues, particularly student veterans, foster students, and LGBT students, are matriculating in higher education at higher rates. This beckons the conversation that a larger, more visible and comprehensive dialogue around mental health and the reality of its presence on college campuses needs to be instituted. California Community Colleges constitute 25% of the nation's college student population, and as more and more students enroll into higher education, more students with a mental illness are in college classrooms. The education of student mental health at institutions of higher education is critical if campuses are to address the prevention and early intervention needs of their students, faculty, and staff. The methodology used for this research was both qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative methods were utilized to assess how the grant enhanced campus responded to student mental health needs. Based on the data collected and analyzed between June 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013, the Campus Based Grant (CBG) resourced the delivery and education of prevention and intervention (PEI) strategies and best practices to over 21,000 persons. Additionally, the CCC SMHP enhanced the capacity of 23 campuses to respond to the mental health needs of students by as much as 76%. Overall, the CCC SMHP had a significant impact on the existing mental health services on campuses and was awarded a CBG. Furthermore, based on the findings of this research, college leaders and policymakers should consider the struggles with which students with mental illnesses contend, and the difference mental health education can have on all stakeholders of institutions of higher education.
Book Synopsis Mental Health Care in the College Community by : Jerald Kay
Download or read book Mental Health Care in the College Community written by Jerald Kay and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health concerns are the most serious and prevalent health problems among students in higher education. Increasingly effective psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments have facilitated matriculation for students with histories of anxiety, mood, personality, eating and substance abuse disorders. This phenomenon has been accompanied by a striking increase in the number of previously undiagnosed students requesting treatment. College and university mental health programs struggle to care for larger numbers of students, necessitating greater interdisciplinary collaboration in treatment, research, outreach, and educational services. This book fills an important gap in the literature and provides a comprehensive resource for nearly every aspect of college mental health. It includes a strong emphasis on the training and education of graduate and professional students for future work in this field. Chapters are devoted to the significant ethical and legal issues related to treatment and associated administrative and policy challenges. Scholarly chapters on the promise of community mental health and public health approaches are especially innovative. There is also a chapter on international issues in college mental health which will be helpful to those students studying abroad. Mental Health Care in the College Community is written by acknowledged experts from mental health, college and university administration, legal and educational disciplines, all with extensive administrative and clinical experience in higher education settings. This book is clearly written and well illustrated with abundant tables, charts, and figures. This text will become essential reading for college mental health clinicians, graduate students in the mental health disciplines (psychiatry, psychology, counselling, nursing, and social work), student affairs deans and their staff, and even presidents or provosts of universities and colleges.

Book Synopsis Mental Health, Substance Use, and Wellbeing in Higher Education by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Mental Health, Substance Use, and Wellbeing in Higher Education written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student wellbeing is foundational to academic success. One recent survey of postsecondary educators found that nearly 80 percent believed emotional wellbeing is a "very" or "extremely" important factor in student success. Studies have found the dropout rates for students with a diagnosed mental health problem range from 43 percent to as high as 86 percent. While dealing with stress is a normal part of life, for some students, stress can adversely affect their physical, emotional, and psychological health, particularly given that adolescence and early adulthood are when most mental illnesses are first manifested. In addition to students who may develop mental health challenges during their time in postsecondary education, many students arrive on campus with a mental health problem or having experienced significant trauma in their lives, which can also negatively affect physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing. The nation's institutions of higher education are seeing increasing levels of mental illness, substance use and other forms of emotional distress among their students. Some of the problematic trends have been ongoing for decades. Some have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic consequences. Some are the result of long-festering systemic racism in almost every sphere of American life that are becoming more widely acknowledged throughout society and must, at last, be addressed. Mental Health, Substance Use, and Wellbeing in Higher Education lays out a variety of possible strategies and approaches to meet increasing demand for mental health and substance use services, based on the available evidence on the nature of the issues and what works in various situations. The recommendations of this report will support the delivery of mental health and wellness services by the nation's institutions of higher education.

Book Synopsis Mental Health Service Utilization in Latino College Students by : Kelly Whaling
Download or read book Mental Health Service Utilization in Latino College Students written by Kelly Whaling and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature suggests that mental illness, particularly depression and trauma, is extremely prevalent in Latino populations, with low rates of psychological service use. The purpose of this study was to examine factors that would decrease or increase the use of mental health services in Latino populations. The data for this thesis came from: (1) 563 Latino college students were sampled via a confidential, online survey at a Southern California university; and (2) 90 Latino college students who participated in eight focus groups. Results correspond to prior literature, as only 21.0% of survey respondents stated they may want to receive counseling in the future, and participants endorsed many negative attitudes toward psychological help. Participants who were interviewed suggested that the barriers that keep Latinos from seeking services include stigma, time, finances, and cultural factors (e.g. espiritualismo, familismo, machismo/marianismo, confianza, etc). Participants suggested outreach via media (e.g. fliers, telenovelas, etc) to increase awareness of mental health services and decrease stigma regarding using mental health services, as a way to facilitate treatment. Implications for community leaders, educators, practitioners, and policy-makers will be discussed.
