Abstract

This chapter presents the state of mental health of students in higher education institutions, help seeking behaviors, and available mental health support. Mental health problems have a profound impact on all aspects of the student's life at the individual, interpersonal, and even institutional level. The chapter also presents factors that have been associated with seeking help, including the social environment within the college/university. Colleges and universities offer a unique setting to address mental health problems among students, and therefore should develop programmes for mental health promotion and disease prevention for their students before they grow in severity and cause long-term problems.
