Expert Student Mental Health Support for Schools & Universities
Expand Access to Behavioral Health Services for Your Students
Millions of students experience mental health issues each year, but only a fraction receive the treatment they need — including an estimated 7.7 million children and teens living with conditions such as depression, anxiety, or ADHD.
Schools often serve as the primary access point for mental health care among children and young adults, making it essential for students to have reliable support at their school or university.
Yet, the education system faces many significant challenges in meeting this need, from funding to the shortage of psychiatric professionals in America. This is where telepsychiatry can make all the difference.
Importance of Mental Health Care
in Student Populations
Mental health challenges among students are a growing concern across all age groups, from children to young adults. Early intervention and access to professional support are essential for helping students manage emotional stress, trauma, and academic pressures before they escalate into crises.
- The American Psychological Association has noted that suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students in the U.S. and the third leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 24.
- According to the Centers for Disease Control, 17% of students in grades 9 to 12 in the U.S. have seriously considered attempting suicide in the previous 12 months.
- It’s estimated that at least 1 in 7 children have experienced child abuse and/or neglect, though experts suspect this actual number is much higher.
This is why it’s especially crucial for students to feel seen, heard, and valued. With virtual mental health care, your students will have access to the support they need, when and where they need it.
