Perhaps you\u2019ve had a mental breakdown before (maybe dozens of them) or you\u2019re on the brink of having one right now. Between pulling all-nighters, failing your first quiz, juggling social life and academics, eating cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it\u2019s no surprise that college students are struggling. College is stressful, in fact, college is the most <a class=\"no-link-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/owlcation.com\/academia\/The-Common-Causes-of-Stress-in-College-Students\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stressful time<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0in many people\u2019s entire lives! Unfortunately, with this great stress, sleep deprivation, academic obstacles, comes even greater issues. Mental health issues are sky-rocketing in college students and they don\u2019t seem to be declining anytime soon. This is why it is absolutely essential that all colleges and universities provide their students with the appropriate resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-29735 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog2-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog2-24x16.png 24w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog2-36x24.png 36w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog2-48x32.png 48w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blog2.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"no-link-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/hluOJZjLVXc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Image Credits<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>1. School Funded Therapists<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Almost every college in the United States has a school funded therapist(s) who can be found at a school\u2019s counseling center. These are licensed professionals who students can confide in to help with school or non-school related issues. Many of these counseling centers are open 24 hours a day to provide students with around the clock assistance. Also many of these therapists allow students to attend phone call sessions rather than in person meetings, if the student would feel more comfortable and have a better sense of privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Deans<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many students have the misconception that college deans are only used for academic purposes, but that is far from the truth. Deans want to ensure that their students are having the best possible college experience, which is why they are available to talk about their students\u2019 overall well-being. Students should feel comfortable speaking to their deans about mental health leaves of absence, sexual harassment, family troubles, and anything that is causing a student distress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. RAs and CLs<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">For students starting college soon, in most colleges and universities, underclassmen dorms have a couple upperclassmen living in each of the dorms. These upperclassmen are distributed in underclassmen dorms in order to serve as RAs and\/or CLs, which are resources for the younger students to have in close living proximity. Younger students often feel less vulnerable speaking with another student than a licensed professional because students are more relatable and less structured in the way they give advice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Online Resources<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">The current world is saturated in technology, so college students should be taking full advantage of this. There are all kinds of online mental health resources for a wide array of issues such as depression, addiction, anxiety, and eating disorders. Here are a few great online resources that are more than happy to help college students feel better: <a class=\"no-link-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/healthunlocked.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Health Unlocked<\/a>, <a class=\"no-link-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/turn2me.ie\/landing\/support-groups\/adults\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Turn2Me<\/a>,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">\u00a0<a class=\"no-link-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystrength.org\/group\/anxiety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Strength<\/a>,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\"><a class=\"no-link-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealthforum.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Mental Health Forum<\/a>, <a class=\"no-link-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mhanational.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mental Health America <\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">and <a class=\"no-link-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealth.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MentalHealth.gov<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>5.

However, if you are auspicious enough to have people close to you who<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\"> love you and want to support you, then allow them to help you.
