class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As these mental health challenges continue to grow and getting help sheds its stigma, more students feel comfortable seeking help, including for low-level anxiety or depression that previous generations of students might have simply tried to ignore. That means higher education leaders need to consider creative approaches to handle the demand for increased services and support the mental health and well-being of students.<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-do-students-need-for-mental-health-support\"><\/span>What do students need for mental health support?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>As colleges and universities invest in solutions that address campus mental health concerns, the need for supportive peer networks has never been more important. According to a survey by TimelyCare,<a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/back-to-school-survey-reveals-good-news-bad-news-about-students-mental-health\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\"> peer support tops the list of ways students plan to cope with their stress and anxiety<\/a>. Another survey by the Born This Way Foundation and Mary Christie Institute found that <a href=\"https:\/\/bornthisway.foundation\/research\/peer-counseling-in-college\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">1 in 5 college students already benefit from peer counseling<\/a>, with rates significantly higher among Black, transgender, and first-generation students.<\/p><p>Data confirms that young adults are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeminds.org\/about-mental-health\/statistics\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">more likely to seek help from their friends<\/a> versus a mental healthcare provider or any other person in their lives. That\u2019s why <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/blog\/what-is-a-mental-health-peer-to-peer-program\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">implementing a peer-to-peer program<\/a> in the college setting is considered an <a href=\"https:\/\/jedfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/JED-Comprehensive-Approach_FINAL_July19.pdf\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">effective practice by The JED Foundation (JED)<\/a>. Not only can peer-to-peer programs expand the network of individuals who can intervene before a mental health crisis occurs, but it also creates an environment in which students are modeling positive health behaviors that influence other students to practice self-care and seek help for themselves or a friend before a critical situation occurs.<\/p><p>Another effective strategy for addressing workloads and service availability is virtual telehealth. With its anytime-anywhere model, teletherapy is revolutionizing mental health support for college students. Its greatest strength, <a href=\"https:\/\/ajp.psychiatryonline.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1176\/appi.ajp.2020.20050557\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">according to psychotherapists<\/a>, is its ability to expand access while providing similar outcomes as in-person therapy, especially when performed by a licensed therapist.<\/p><p>Beyond cost and convenience, teletherapy has the potential to break down other barriers, especially for the most vulnerable groups of students (e.g., Black, Hispanic, Asian, LGBTQIA+). Underserved students often look for therapists with similar backgrounds, and teletherapy\u2019s wide net of therapists can make that easier. Studies confirm that Black patients, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/08\/18\/health\/black-babies-mortality-rate-doctors-study-wellness-scli-intl\/index.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">have better results<\/a> when Black healthcare professionals treat them. And because there\u2019s a direct correlation between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/2020\/jan\/15\/being-wealthy-adds-nine-years-to-life-expectancy-says-study\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">health and representation<\/a>, this leads to better health and fewer medical bills.
