An Overview of Post-Secondary Mental Health on Campus in Ontario: Challenges and Successes (2019)

Abstract – With the growing number of initiatives on campus that support student well-being, an overview of some of the systemic, sector-wide issues on campuses will help to further understanding of post-secondary student mental health needs and support improved outcomes for mental health on campus. This paper will examine systemic issues in the post-secondary mental health sector, including the challenges of maintaining best practices; review how the Mental Health Innovation Fund projects and project outcomes worked toward addressing those challenges; and highlight standards in post-secondary mental health program evaluation.
