“…Beyond identifying outcomes and effectiveness, these data enable a wealth of analyses to enhance decision‐making and client outcomes. Such methods can identify reliable predictors of therapy dropout, reduce poor outcomes, support practice implications for reviewing client progress and shed light on therapeutic processes to improve clinical decisions and effectiveness (Hall et al., 2018; Swift et al., 2018). However, not all premature terminations are negative.…”

The collection and use of rich data on student mental health are necessary to inform practice and policy, and ultimately lead to improved outcomes. Here, rich data refers to the combination of large and representative data sets, as well as detailed accounts of lived experiences and perspectives. We argue that such data are necessary to respond to the diverse and ever‐changing needs of students while building an evidence base for current and emerging services and staff roles. We provide suggestions for moving towards these goals, argue for adopting diverse research methods to yield data‐informed practice and policy, and introduce a special section in Counselling and Psychotherapy Research to reflect this agenda.

“…An additional problem is that many students are reluctant to seek help: even when accessible services are available, students show low levels of help seeking (Ennis et al, 2019), contributing to a situation where only a quarter of students diagnosed with a disorder receive treatment (Eisenberg, Golberstein, & Gollust, 2007;Hunt & Eisenberg, 2010). Also of concern is that although psychological interventions are a major focus of university treatment services (Mowbray et al, 2006), drop-out rates can be as high as 67% from these interventions (Hall, Brown, & Humphries, 2018), significantly higher than levels observed in other mental health settings (Swift & Greenberg, 2012;Xiao et al, 2017).…”

“…Equally concerning is the possibility that dissatisfaction with their counselling experience may turn some students away from any future mental health support. Future research would do well to inquire into students' disinclination to obtain further care, in line with efforts to understand students' premature termination of counselling (Buizza et al, 2019), which has been found to be higher than other populations (Hall et al, 2018).…”

Objective: Considerable evidence has accumulated pointing to a wide array of mental health problems experienced by students attending post-secondary schools. Yet, much less attention has been focused on understanding who actually accesses mental health services on post-secondary campuses. Methods:The current study reports on a national survey of 8,248 students attending 41 post-secondary campuses across Canada who have accessed their schools' mental health services. The survey solicited self-reported problems among attendees of campus mental health services. Descriptive statistics (means, frequencies) were utilised to summarise responses to items relating to psychological symptoms, suicidal and self-injurious behaviours, stress, impediments to academic performance, and future mental health help seeking. Results:Respondents reported very high levels of stress, with approximately 95% indicating being overwhelmed (n = 7,863) and exhausted (n = 7,803). More than 80% of respondents conveyed feeling very sad (n = 7,200), overwhelming anxiety (n = 6,892) and very lonely (n = 6,670). One quarter (26.1%; n = 2,146) had considered suicide.The most frequently endorsed impediments to academic performance included stress, anxiety, depression and sleep, with nearly three-quarters (73%; n = 6,018) of respondents indicating that academic work has been traumatic or very difficult to handle. Conclusion:The findings of this survey provide a clearer picture of the types of issues that are brought forth by students who avail themselves of campus mental health services, thus enabling such services to better tailor their offerings to the needs of their clientele.
