And, of the 80% who don\u2019t use peer counseling, 62% are interested in using it. Similarly, a TimelyCare survey found that nearly two-thirds of students (63%) said that <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/college-students-top-concerns-2023\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">they turn to their peers for help first<\/a>.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">It\u2019s no surprise that peers typically have a better understanding of a student&#8217;s struggles. This familiarity can reassure students that they\u2019re not alone in their health and well-being journey while also helping to de-stigmatize seeking additional care from an institution\u2019s counseling center, virtual care options, or community resources.

The Chronicle of Higher Education\u2019s Brock Read spoke with TimelyCare\u2019s Director of Mental Health Operations, Seli Fakorzi, to discuss virtual health and well-being for students and <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/college-students-top-concerns-2023\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">TimelyCare\u2019s recent student mental health survey<\/a>.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">With greater acuity of mental health symptoms more prevalent than ever before, the number of students who need support for mental illness continues to increase. In fact, 78% of students are more stressed, depressed, or anxious now than they were this time last year. \u201cWe know from our research that peer support is the number one way that students are preferring to address their mental health issues,\u201d said Fakorzi.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The numbers speak for themselves\u2014peers play a significant role in helping manage stress and providing support for one another. The <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/peer-community\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">Peer Community<\/a> in TimelyCare\u2019s virtual health and well-being platform is a judgment-free space for students across the nation to seek support and validate their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. This resource helps students navigate challenges and experiences, such as relationship issues, feelings of anxiety, and other common stressors.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cOne reason we built Peer Community is because we wanted to reach those students that we call our silent sufferers,\u2019&#8217; said Fakorzi. These students are those who are not comfortable speaking to a professional immediately, but they may potentially look to their peers as the first step in getting the help they need. In fact, about half of students who have used <a href=\"https:\/\/timely.md\/timelymd-adds-peer-support-to-improve-college-students-mental-health\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">Peer Community<\/a> have not had a care provider visit in the last three months.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">By providing students with a safe, inclusive space to take the first step in seeking mental health services, peer support programs are part of a comprehensive approach to care that includes <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/blog\/the-importance-of-a-peer-community-for-college-students\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">peers<\/a>, self-care tools, campus mental health resources, and additional solutions, such as virtual care options, to help fill gaps in care and improve resilience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3f491d0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"3f491d0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c98c7d ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"2c98c7d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-adfa10a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"adfa10a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-resources-for-faculty-and-staff\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">2.

Research shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chronicle.com\/article\/students-struggling-with-mental-health-often-confide-in-their-professors-they-want-more-guidance-on-how-to-help?cid2=gen_login_refresh&amp;cid=gen_sign_in\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">8 out of 10 professors<\/a> had one-on-one conversations with students about mental health during the last 12 months.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cWe certainly are seeing an increase in requests for students looking for resources and accommodations to support them as they are growing and grappling with this post-pandemic era, and I think that then in turn puts additional burdens and concerns on our facility and staff about how to best accommodate and support our students,\u201d said McGee.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Yet, proper training may not be available, leaving faculty and staff unable to fully address these emotional issues. And this strain can put them at risk of burning out. Of the virtual forum\u2019s attendees, 71% reported that burnout was high or very high among campus staff, and 60% reported burnout was high or very high among faculty.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cThere should never be a situation where a faculty member feels alone where a student has come and reported something,\u201d said Ocampo. \u201cThere should be a very clearly expressed communication plan that every faculty member should be trained on.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Many TimelyCare partner campuses, including Virginia\u2019s Community Colleges, William &amp; Mary, and Virginia Tech have expanded TimelyCare access to include all faculty and staff. Additionally, all college and university partners can access a Faculty and Staff Support hotline to connect with members of the care team who can guide how to support students in distress and recommend how to connect them to the appropriate level of care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-473baf4

This not only helps normalize seeking mental health care, but it allows higher education leaders to come together and determine how to best meet students\u2019 needs.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s all about creating a culture of \u2018there&#8217;s no concern that&#8217;s too small,\u2019\u201d said McGee. This starts with leadership that understands that the mental health crisis on campus cannot be ignored, empowers faculty and staff with the resources they need, and invests in student health and well-being.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cThe mental health crisis is here to stay, it\u2019s not going to be one single event. We need to meet students where they are,\u201d said Fakorzi. \u201cWe know that a team-based approach to care is going to ensure that students stay healthy and that they\u2019re able to achieve their goals, and that there\u2019s a team that\u2019s built around them.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Fakorzi highlighted that colleges and universities can address the campus mental health crisis by offering a full spectrum of interconnected student resources. This strategy includes services that complement existing campus health resources, such as virtual care options. And, Fakorzi reported that 75% of students that have used TimelyCare\u2019s virtual care services report mental health improvement, including all of those who presented as a potential suicide risk.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">TimelyCare, the leading virtual health and well-being provider for higher education, equips students, faculty, and staff with the tools necessary to empower themselves to achieve their wellness goals.
