Oct 18, 2023

Atending college is no joke. It's hard for anyone. If the current statistics show anything, it that college is stressful and difficult. So how do students deal with all of that while having a mental health issue? I boiled it all down the top five ways. There are many more but theses are the five that will make the most difference and the biggest impact. 

What are they? 

  1. Apply for accommodations.
  2. Supports (needed vs. available).
  3. Get a wellness plan together. 
  4. Practice independence skills.
  5. Safety. 

Yeah, it's a packed episode! So, grab a paper and pen and because each point has more information that can help you guide your student to being at their best and independently managing their mental health.  

Here's the course and the free services planner I mentioned in the episode.
