In the past five years, media and public awareness of issues of college student mental health has been unprecedented. The tragic incident at Virginia Tech brought the media spotlight onto the issue in a new way, raising both realistic concerns and irrational fears about the lives of students who struggle with mental illness. In this program, we will examine the national trends in college student mental health, as well as the trends at Illinois State University, and discuss the role of all faculty and staff in contributing to a community of care and concern for students.
