Description:
Going to college involves a huge amount of change in a short amount of time. Although it promises many new opportunities, people and places—it also often means leaving behind an established support network of family and friends. It may also mean leaving supports and services that have helped you maintain your health and well-being while living at home. Fortunately, there are almost always people and resources in a campus community that will help you make the transition. This discussion group and its resources focus on how to successfully transition to college and how to effectively manage a mental health condition as a student. Most of the information provided is from young adults who have shared their tips on balancing a mental health condition with the demands and unique experiences of campus life.
