Experiences of College Students with Disabilities and Mental Health Disorders: Informing College Transition and Retention
Psychology in the Schools, v59 n4 p661-677 Apr 2022
The rate of college students with disabilities and co-occurring mental health disorders (D/MH) is steadily increasing across the U.S. However, despite available services and supports, the outcomes of these students lag behind their peers without D/MH. Further, little is known about the needs of students with D/MH, including barriers they experience and strategies or resources they find helpful. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of nine diverse college students with D/MH attending a public university, including how the complexities associated with D/MH effected their lives and strategies they used that supported their well-being, via in-depth interviews and focus groups. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
