Addressing the Lack of Mental Health Services for At-Risk Students at a Two-Year Community College: A Contemporary Review
McBride, Paula E.
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v43 n2 p146-148 2019
The American Association of Community Colleges has determined over 40% of the population attending a post-secondary institution is enrolled in a two-year community college. The majority of this student population could be described as nontraditional, including first-generation students, underrepresented populations, and single parents working full or part-time jobs while attending classes. This student population is more likely to experience stress and anxiety, increasing their need for mental health services. Despite this demonstrated need, there has been little research conducted on two-year community college campuses relating to mental health services. The purpose of this article is to discuss the need for research on mental health needs and services at two-year community colleges.
