College and Campus Mental Health

Mental health care for students, most of it paid for by the university rather than by the student. Campus counseling centers are overloaded, so schools buy teletherapy, and whether you can use it depends entirely on whether your school signed up. The entries record how each service is bought and reached, whether it works across state lines when you go home for the summer, what it costs a student directly if anything, and how many sessions a year are included.
