September 10, 2013
Counseling centers across the nation have observed an increasing number of students seeking treatment, greater severity and complexity in the mental health concerns that are being reported, and have found that students themselves have been self-reporting higher levels of distress. This webinar will outline some of the main factors associated with these rises, and will examine both the vulnerabilities and coping methods of this generation.
