Why didn't the college do more? Because it's a place intended for learning, not mental health rehabilitation.
- comrh 13y agoThe point of the post is to help other people dealing with the same thing. Colleges have populations of young people on their own for the first time dealing with new and extremely taxing issues. They have a responsibility to take mental health seriously and offer support. The same way a disabled student would be supported.
- josh-wrale 13y agoThe word "university" has in it a form of "whole". As such, IMHO, this "place for learning" should strive toward teaching AND fostering coping mechanisms. Coping is, after all, and again IMHO, a key component to success. Tell us, without the basic will to live, what is success or "higher education"?
