Tulane and mental health

I think all campuses are struggling with this. I wouldn’t turn down admission based on this article. My son suffers from severe mental illness. He attends our small local university. The disabilities office said they are seeing greatly increased numbers of students suffering from mental illness. Think about it - even the mental health system in each CITY is overloaded! It’s very hard to find a psychiatrist with openings.

Does your daughter suffer from mental illness? If so, you should meet with the disabilities office at Tulane and see how they can assist her. Otherwise, don’t worry - your daughter will be fine.

Another good resource is the state chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). They could give you resources and suggestions.
