More prevalence of mental distress among college students exists, and many have more acute mental illness.<\/p><p>The metrics and internal data at TimelyCare bear this out: Before the pandemic, 10% of student visits to TimelyCares telehealth service were for mental health. To date this year, it\u2019s 80%.<\/p><p>Depression among students is less prevalent, panelists said, but more students are reporting anxiety and stress.

They can be really valuable in getting students the kind of care that they need.\u201d<\/p><p>Panelists listed numerous advantages to deploying a 24-7 virtual mental health platform:<\/p><ul><li>A telehealth or virtual health and well-being program can supplement existing counseling services. It can help expand capacity during surge times, while also providing uninterrupted mental health care during extended school breaks. It can also deliver care more quickly to more students, especially those with mild to moderate symptoms who often have to wait due to long delays for appointments or students with more high-risk issues.<\/li><li>Students from other countries, where seeking help for mental health might be <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/blog\/the-stigma-of-seeking-mental-health-care-for-college-students\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">stigmatized<\/a>, are more likely to use telehealth. This is especially true if there\u2019s no additional cost to the student to use the services.<\/li><li>Telehealth and virtual health care can introduce students to the potential benefits of mental health treatment. \u201cIt\u2019s maybe a toe in the door that perhaps then leads to a foot in the door, to perhaps leading to that person coming across the door all the way,\u201d said Patel.<\/li><li>Telehealth enables colleges and universities to offer a larger quantity of more diverse counselors than they may be able to hire on their own. This empowers schools to give access to counselors \u2014 clinicians of color and LBGTQ+ clinicians, for instance \u2014 to meet the cultural, linguistic, and other needs of their diverse student populations.<\/li><\/ul><p>When discussing Johnson C.
