identify the mental health needs of students as well as gapsin mental health services within postsecondary education. A videovoice method was used to identify and document health-related issues and advocate for change. Forty-one interviews were conducted with campus stakeholders at five universities. Five themes involving mental health emerged from the campus interviews: the stigma of mental illness; campus culture related to mental health; mental health services available and barriers to mental health services on campus; accommodations for students’ mental health needs; and student mental health coping strategies.

We conclude that although Canadian campuses are raising awareness about mental health issues, there isnot enough mental health infrastructure support on campuses; in particular, accessibility to campus mental health resources needs improvement.  \nRésumé  \nCette étude vise à mieux comprendre la culture de la santé mentale au sein de différents campus ainsi que les stratégiesd’adaptation adoptéesparles étudiants, puis à relever les besoins des étudiants et les lacunes quant à l’offre de services en santé mentale des institutions postsecondaires. Nous avons eu recours à laméthode « videovoice » dans lebut d’identifier et de documenter les problèmes de santé mentale, puis de plaider en faveur d’un changement. Quarante-etune entrevues ont été réalisées auprès d’intervenants sur les campus de cinq différentes universités. De ces entrevues, cinq thèmes liés à la santé mentale ont émergé, soit la stigmatisation liée à la santé mentale, la culture des campus, la disponibilitédesservicesensantémentaleetlesobstaclesdel’offredetelsservices, les accommodements offerts par les campus, et les stratégies d’adaptation des étudiants. Nous avons élaboré un documentaire qui plaide en faveur dela santé mentale. Nous concluons que, bien que les campus canadiens sensibilisent leurs étudiants à ce sujet, il y a absence de soutien en termes d’infrastructure pour lasanté mentale sur les campus. En effet, l’accès des ressources en santé mentaledoit particulièrement être amélioré sur les campus.  \nCollege and university students are at high risk for developing mental health issues, conditions that may affect their ability to think and feel. Severe mental health issues may affect students’ ability to perform daily functions and interact with other members of the community. According to a General Health Questionnaire (Adlaf, Demers, & Gliksman, 2005), nearly one-third of Canadian undergraduate university students reported experiencing elevated psychological distress. In 2011, the mental illness-associated suicide rate accounted for 24% of all deaths among 15–24-year-olds, amounting to 4,000 youths (Statistics Canada, 2011). As indicated by the 2004 Canadian Campus Survey, 42% of university students were more likely than 17% of non-university students to report symptoms of mental illness (Adlaf, Demers, & Gliksman, 2005) . Furthermore, 2009 prevalence data from six Ontario postsecondary institutions estimated that more than 80% of the students felt overwhelmed or exhausted and that 4% of the studentshad a psychiatric condition.
