Mental health is certainly an issue. My daughter is a Tulane freshman. Oftentimes, it seems like the issues for her and her friends are issues of adjustment - the difficulties of being on their own, as adults, etc., where short-term counseling can often be helpful. And she has been fairly proactive. Where I have seen a little bit of “dropping the ball” is in the follow-up care. After the list of therapists is given to the kid (and I have no idea how these are vetted by the school, which would naturally be a question for any referral from anywhere), there doesn’t always seem to be a follow-up call to the student to find out if they were successful in locating an outside therapist. Whether or not the school has a legal obligation to do so in dealing with these “adults,” I’d suggest that there is an ethical obligation as a therapist/counselor to do so. But like everything else, we hope that our kids will communicate with us if they need help. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
