Health Services suffers from budget cuts - Karoline Leavitt, St. Anselm Crier

It’s no secret that in this country there is a rising need for mental health treatment amongst all Americans. But college students are a demographic that has increasingly struggled with psychological problems and disorders in recent years. According to a survey conducted in 2016 by the American Psychological Association, over 52% of college students across the country reported feeling hopeless and depressed. This trend is no different for Saint Anselm students. According to statistics provided by the Office of Health Services, the number of students who have seen a counselor on campus has nearly doubled since 2010. In 2010, 840 students sought counseling; already in 2018, over 1,800 students have visited the office. https://criernewsroom.com/news/2018/10/12/health-services-suffers-from-budget-cuts/
