The onset of most mental illness and substance dependency typically occurs during adolescence and early adulthood, which coincides with the very age when the majority of students are first encountering the pressures associated with postsecondary education.  \nIn fact, half of all lifetime cases of diagnosable mental illnesses begin by 14 years of age, and 75 per cent by 24 years of age.2  \nAn effective and easy-to-navigate mental health-care system for postsecondary students helps foster student success throughout university and college. It ensures access to the life-long tools needed to build resiliency, and to navigate a continuously changing future and rapidly evolving labour market.  \nThat is why the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA), the College Student Alliance (CSA), the Council of Ontario Universities (COU) and Colleges Ontario (CO) developed an action plan to address postsecondary student mental health in 2017.  \nIn It Together: Taking Action on Student Mental Health advocated for curriculum changes that teach young people resiliency before they enter postsecondary  \neducation. It also proposed culturally diverse counselling and the use of more technology and peer counselling-all free to students, on and off campus.  \nIntegral to the plan was that the Province adopt a holistic approach to support student mental health, drawing on the many strengths that community partners have to offer.  \nOntario’s universities, colleges and students remain committed to supporting student mental health. Our efforts have resulted in many improvements, including a comprehensive, accessible database of community mental health service providers and an increased awareness around the need to instil resiliency and coping skills as early as K-12 .  \nHowever, significant challenges still remain. Students continue to face long wait times for mental health services, both on campus and in the community, which has placed increased pressure on postsecondary institutions and campus service providers.  \nThe Spring 2019 National College Health Assessment (NCHA), a national online survey that collects information on students’ health behaviours, attitudes and perceptions, indicated that depression, anxiety and suicide attempts are increasing among Ontario’s postsecondary students.  \n• 53% of students reported feeling so depressed in the previous year it was difficult to function (up from 46% in 2016);  \n• 69% of students reported experiencing overwhelming anxiety in the previous year (up from 65% in 2016);  \n• 17% of students reported that they had seriously considered suicide in the previous year (up from 14% in 2016);  \n• 3.1% of students reported a suicide attempt within the previous year (up from 2.2% in 2016);  \n• 11% of students had indicated that","cbCaiv5ZqzoaqgeN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv5ZqzoaqgeN","pdf",2791865,16,"English","# Contents\n## Student mental health: A shared responsibility\n## Summary of recommendations\n## Principles and recommendations\n## Conclusion\n## References","[{\"question\":\"Why is student mental health described as a shared responsibility?\",\"answer\":\"The document states that mental health and well-being require collective action, because mental health challenges affect many people over time and postsecondary students are especially vulnerable.\"},{\"question\":\"What principle emphasizes improving student mental health and well-being?\",\"answer\":\"A whole-of-community approach is identified as vital for improving student mental health and well-being.\"},{\"question\":\"What problems in access to mental health services are highlighted?\",\"answer\":\"Students continue to face long wait times for services both on campus and in the community, increasing pressure on institutions and campus providers.\"}]","In It Together 2020 - Foundations for Promoting Mental Wellness in Campus Communities | PDF",1792047826]
