Now imagine those very characteristics that make us who we are inadvertently becoming obstacles to accessing health care.<\/p><p>It\u2019s a reality experienced every day by historically underrepresented and marginalized college students. These barriers are a significant roadblock that impacts students\u2019 academic and personal health outcomes.<\/p><p>Inclusive care delivery can help break down these barriers and provide students with the resources they need to thrive. By implementing actionable strategies and best practices, colleges and universities can create an environment that supports all students&#8217; mental health and well-being. There has never been a greater need for inclusive care delivery that embraces diverse backgrounds, intersecting identities and lived experiences, and the time to course-correct is now.<\/p><p>As part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/resources\/gen-ztressed-strategies-for-inclusive-care-that-drive-student-success\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">TimelyCare GenZtressed webinar series<\/a>, a panel of health equity, mental health, and student affairs leaders explored the need for and benefits of inclusive care delivery that embraces <em>all<\/em> students.

These spaces can help students find a sense of belonging and reaffirm their identities. By acknowledging and respecting the differences among students, universities can continue to support their mental health even after the pandemic.<\/p><p>Additionally, eliminating stigma on campus requires regular exposure to available resources in various formats and forums. For example:<\/p><ul><li>Co-sponsoring events with different departments and offices can help remove silos and bring students together.<\/li><li>Using social media and providing swag like magnets, stickers, and keychains can help spread the message.<\/li><li>Check-ins with students can be done verbally or through non-verbal cues like thumbs up or down.<\/li><li>Inviting counselors to events and locations where students are can also help.<\/li><li>Finally, offering various therapies like art, music, and meditation can give students a space to decompress and take a break from studying.<\/li><\/ul><p>Haywood said equally important to putting an end to stigma and cultivating connections is assembling an expert team that is visible to students and is made up of individuals who look like and share similar experiences with students. Additionally, ensure the services, resources, and programming available to students are

According to the latest data from the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors (AUCCCD), the majority of college counseling center directors are white (59%) and female (70%).<\/p><p>As Batista noted, finding a solution requires commitment from institutional administration.<\/p><p>\u201cHire folks that are mirroring the demographic of your school, and I think depending where you are, that\u2019s easier to do,\u201d she said. \u201cIf you\u2019re challenged in that, finding a program like TimelyCare that is also committed to offering a variety of counselors and therapists that have intersectional identities, that students get to choose who they see based on the provider profile, I think that\u2019s been really helpful.\u201d<\/p><p>As a TimelyCare partner school, Batista said Lake Tahoe Community College is well-equipped to meet the diverse needs of its students.<\/p><p>In keeping with its commitment to inclusion, TimelyCare\u2019s diverse and culturally responsive provider network reflects and is proud to serve students who embody diversity in race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, age, religion and worldview, language, health, ability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic and immigration status, and more.<\/p><p>More than half of TimelyCare\u2019s mental health providers identify as people of color, and through TimelyCare&#8217;s partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/improves-inclusive-care-delivery-for-diverse-college-students-using-violet\/?cat=news\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">Violet<\/a>, all are trained in and inclusive of varying backgrounds and identities, including race, socioeconomic status, LGBTQIA+, gender, sexual orientation, different abilities, and the impacts of inequality in health care.
