Teletherapy: Campus Counseling Center Friend or Foe?
Preview:
Demand for behavioral health care, whether among college students or other groups, is at an all-time high due to a variety of reasons, including COVID-19, racial stress and oppression, a polarizing political environment, a (welcome) reduction in stigma about mental health, and an increasing general understanding of the importance of taking care of one’s mental health. The fact that mental health was mentioned in President Biden’s 2022 State of the Union is not insignificant, nor is the money toward mental health–related initiatives in the American Rescue Plan.
