10 National trends in the past decade Increase in mental health symptom severity AND demand for mental health services among students Recent 25-year low in student emotional health Increase in economic concerns Increase in hidden disabilities (e.g. mental health & learning) % increase in students presenting with : Sexual Assault Suicidality Personality disorders Anxiety Depression Being on medication

11 Your Role In Assisting Students You are on the front line. You may be the first person to become aware that a student is in distress. Or, you may be the first person they are contacting to reach out. You are not expected to provide counseling, but it is helpful to understand what your role is, what you can do, and what resources are available.

12 Graduate Students and Suicide The second leading cause of death in graduate students Males 4 times more likely to die by suicide; females more likely to attempt suicide A 2011 survey of over 105,000 college students (including over 17,000 grad students) found that in the past year: 31.1% felt so depressed it was difficult to function 6.4% had seriously contemplated suicide 1.1% had made a suicide attempt (American College Health Association)

13 INDICATORS OF DISTRESS: Decreased Productivity/ Functioning Poor Personal Interactions Impaired Cognition Amplified Emotion Diminished Self-care *Look for clusters, frequency, duration, and severity not just isolated symptoms

14 How does a student or postdoc get connected?: Several options Student Call SHCS main line, and asks for a nurse consult. Meet with a counselor during an urgent care hour. For students who are in crisis and/or require urgent support and assessment. Attends SHCS outreach event and seeks additional services Student is referred to SHCS as part of discharge plan after psychiatric hospitalization. Postdoc Call FSAP to set up an appointment.

15 What happens during an initial SHCS consultation? It s a starting point for any concern minute clinical interview and assessment. Based on student s presenting concerns, the provider recommends and facilitates next steps for support, which may include: Proceeding w/ brief counseling at SHCS Referrals to community providers, who accept student s insurance, for longer term psychotherapy Referral for psychiatric medication evaluation at SHCS or in community, depending on availability Combination of interim brief counseling for stabilization, with plan for referral within 9 sessions.

16 What happens when a student is referred by SHCS? Given short list of providers in community who accept their health insurance. If they have SHIP, provider completes authorization. Student is responsible to follow up with the referrals, and to let their referring provider know if referrals work out. In situations where a student s presenting concerns impair their functioning, providers will play a more active role. Referral for counseling and psychiatry can involve challenges for students (next slide).

17 All Available Local Providers On Anthem Panel (SHIP) In-network:$15 co-pay Out of network: reimbursed at 70%, must pay out of pocket up front. Has requisite expertise Accessible location Openings in practice Can work with student s schedule * Student follows up, is willing/able to afford cost, and the clinician meets their expectations

18 Strengths & Limitations of SHCS services Strengths: Expertise in working with graduate and professional students Multicultural competence Free Limitations Short-term counseling can be clinically contraindicated Due to demand, weekly appointments may not be possible Convenient Flexible

19 Assisting students: Resources and how to help

20 Juan is a fellow first-year student with you. You ve been in a study group with him since fall quarter. You ve also hung out together socially on weekends. You notice this quarter that he has started to change -- missing classes, not showing up to study group, and seeming aloof when he does come. You notice he looked pretty disheveled last time you saw him and he seemed to be wearing the same clothes you d seen him in earlier in the week. Another friend told you she noticed Juan had posted some odd things on Facebook and saying something like I wish I could escape the stress of school. What do you do?

21 Alex is a 3 rd year Pharm student in research seminar. You ve enjoyed working with her and collaborating on ideas. You ve noticed that at times she seems very nervous, especially during meetings. She tends to get quiet, appear flushed, and has a hard time sharing her ideas. At one meeting when your instructor asked Alex directly about her progress in seminar, she started to cry, and ran out of the room. Your seminar instructor ignores what s happening and never brings it up. Several days later you noticed Alex hasn t been around the lab much. What might be going on with Alex? What do you do?
