\u2018Parent and College Students we need a change.\u2019 This is the\nheadline I read every week or so, as another article gets printed by major\npublications talking about the immense problem on college campuses with\nmental health across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been a family therapist for over 20 years working\nwith students in HS and College.  I am\nalso a father of two kids 17 and 19 years old. After being around this\npopulation of kids professionally and personally I have concluded one very\nimportant thing—we need to change the way we offer help to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The population of young adults will soon be running our\ncommunities.  They will be teachers,\npolice officers, store owners, doctors, nurses and many other\nprofessionals.  Many of them will have\nlong histories of mental health issues that are out of control if we don\u2019t make\na change soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is we have a large population on most college\ncampuses of students struggling with anxiety, depression and suicidality.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stats are shocking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

65{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of students with overwhelming anxiety<\/p>\n\n\n\n

38{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of students with depression<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 7{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of parents report that their student is having\nmental health problems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suicide is now the 2nd<\/sup> leading cause of death in\ncollege students<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shocking 2\/3 of all college\nstudents needing help do not get it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are there so many\nstudents needing help?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

College life can be tremendously stressful in that many\nstudents don\u2019t have healthy ways to burn off stress.  They are stressed due to school work and\ninterpersonal conflicts and don\u2019t know how to manage things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, there is a sparse amount of options for\nstudents due to the increased demand and minimal staff that most campuses have.  Campus staff are often overwhelmed and\nstudents feel isolated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current average ratio nationally of mental health\nprovider to student is 1 to 1700.  For\nsome campuses it is as bad a 1 provider to 2500 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This easily translates to many students simply will go\nwithout help.  That means many students\nwill remain extremely sad or depressed, overwhelmingly anxious and some may\nattempt to harm themselves.  Let me\nremind you all these are our future leaders, our neighbors, and our own kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some estimate as few as only 11{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} <\/strong>of students who are\ndeemed too need help are actually getting help while at college.  This trend is disturbing.  We need to consider a change.  Changing how to reach students.  This is the basis of why I developed U ARE\nHEARD.  We are an online coaching solution\nthat helps college students manage their mental health.  I have an amazing staff of coaches with\nvaried backgrounds ready to assist.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online option has been very appealing to students.  It allows us to end the stigma and negative\nfeeling some students have of going to an office to see someone.  Our students can see us from the privacy of\ntheir room, study room in their dorm or even a private room in the\nlibrary.  We bring the support to them\nthrough video sessions.  Video calling is\nactually done more by college students than phone calling.  Most students are very comfortable having\nconversations in this format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online format has also allowed me to hire coaches\nthroughout the country.  This has\nincreased my ability to have an all-star staff helping students.  I have individuals contacted me daily to work\nfor U ARE HEARD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we as parents or students don\u2019t look to get help\ndifferently than the way we always have, then the stats listed above will\ncontinue and eventually get worse. Why do we as adults accept the same way of\ndoing things if it is not working.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U ARE HEARD is engaging and an easy to use solution.  Many students look forward to meeting and\ngetting the help. As an in office provider of therapy for teens, this is not\nalways the case with many young adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We at U ARE HEARD, have helped many as we bring support\ndirectly to the student.  We assist\nthrough online sessions.  We work within your\nstudents schedule and allow for them to get help when they otherwise may\nnot.  Helping students is our\npassion.  We want students to know there\nis support available and it doesn\u2019t have to be hard to set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to change the way we help.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to allow students to have their difficulties and BE\nHEARD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to offer help that works with them and fits into their\nlifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to offer help that is engaging and appealing so they\naccept it and want to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question is do you want to BE HEARD.  Visit our website at www.uareheard.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
