Abstract
Nearly 40% of college students report at least one mental and/or social health concern. Emerging research demonstrates the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the number of college students with mental and/or social health concerns. College health centers (CHC) and other campus-based resources (such as counseling services) may not be adequately equipped to screen and treat students following the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this quality improvement project was two-part. The first objective was to assess the mental and social health impact of COVID-19 within college students seeking care at a CHC. The second objective was to collaborate with key campus-based stakeholders to increase awareness of current student mental/social climate, evaluate current services offered verses current student needs, and to increase student awareness of services available on-campus.
