This article is an interesting read. It covers the topic of mental health services on college campuses. More colleges and universities are recognizing the need for these services but taking action is costing the students more money. Overall though, it's great that institutions are seeing this need and realizing the positive outcomes that can come from providing adequate services. I think it does a good job of raising awareness and also touches on the stigma associated with mental health over the years and how it affects students' use of these services.
Here's a quick figure from the article in case you don't have time to read the whole thing.

I love that more and more schools are providing free counseling services. Washburn has great counseling services and many students utilize them. Schools have seen the need and recognized the importance of providing this service.
