An Examination of Student Mental Health Services and Supports in Institutions of Higher Education: Weaknesses, Strengths, Emerging Trends, and Recommendations for Reform
The National Council on Disability (NCD) seeks proposals for a report which examines student mental health services in institutions of higher education.
The findings in this report will primarily serve to assist policymakers, including the White House and Congress, and institutions of higher education with insight needed to make policy decisions designed to improve outcomes for students with mental health disabilities.
The report will also provide students with mental health disabilities and those who support them, with an understanding of policy, legislation, and initiatives that impact their lives.
The report will provide a comprehensive examination and assessment of existing student mental health services and policies and will make recommendations for reform to address the needs of students with mental health disabilities.
Thus, the research will include an examination of the policies and physical barriers that hinder or prevent students from accessing mental health services, including policies that discriminate against students with mental health disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
The report will identify gaps and weaknesses in services, effective practices and emerging trends that may improve outcomes for students with mental health disabilities, and recommend changes to allow students to fully benefit from mental health services in post-secondary settings.
