This presentation will present the latest findings from the Healthy Minds Network (www.healthymindsnetwork.org) regarding the prevalence of mental health symptoms, service use, and related issues in college populations. The Healthy Minds survey has included over 100 colleges and universities in recent years, including community colleges as well as universities in other countries such as Qatar, Lebanon, and Canada. The presentation will also describe research on population-level interventions to increase help-seeking and promote mental health among college students.
