Think twice about outsourcing campus mental health services
Preview:
Major losses in my profession, as a campus counseling center director, are soon to reverberate.
Three prominent counseling center directors recently posted that their positions had been eliminated, as their universities “decided to go a different direction.” This disturbing trend is happening, perhaps out of distress, along with “reorganizations” at multiple institutions over previous months.
As president of the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors, I know that schools are struggling to address the student mental health crisis.
