Mental Health in Kentucky: A Statewide Strategy to Support Students, Staff and Faculty Mental Health on College and University Campuses
Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education
Based on a Healthy Minds Survey distributed to students at 21 Kentucky colleges and universities, 40% struggle with depression, 37% report experiencing anxiety, and 80% reported some level of academic impairment due to mental or emotional difficulties in the four weeks prior to being surveyed (ranging from one day to six or more days). Increasing access to mental health services and ensuring our campuses are trained and prepared to support student mental health is a strategic priority for all colleges and universities. Beginning in 2020, CPE and Kentucky's postsecondary institutions began working collaboratively to identify shared priorities and challenges in supporting campus mental health and developing a strategic plan to move forward. The Mental Health Strategic Priorities outlined in this report provide a comprehensive approach to enhancing mental health support across Kentucky's postsecondary institutions.
