“Students are having to meet demands and expectations, which often is very rigorous and overwhelming,” said Knieba Jones-Johnson, director of university counseling. “I think one of the things students struggle with is what do I do now, where do I go?”
The university is using signs with QR codes to show students mental health resources available on campus and has partnered with counselors who work in dorms who are easily accessible to students.
Mental health groups have also created spaces for students to voice their experiences and voice how they think the university should improve its current resources.
