Mental Health Support

[El Paso Eagle]

I think it's excellent that universities support athletes and are proactive with various programs. I have a question based on something I came across. What are the universities doing for students who are not athletes? Do they have similar programs? Thanks.

I can’t speak for the present.  In the sixties, we had a counseling center.  Some doctoral students in counseling would do internships in the center under the mentorship of Dr. Bonk.  If I remember correctly.

I don't remember specifics, but there was an informative part of orientation about mental health resources.

I’m not sure if there is anything specific in terms of student mental health support that you have in mind, but I know that UNT has put more resources into student mental health in the midst of COVID.
 

It is also very easy for faculty to refer students for help from UNT’s CARE Team, if they see something concerning. I have filed referrals on a number of students who needed help and the CARE Team has been very responsive.

When I was a student in 06-10 there were mental health services offered at no cost.
