College students of all ages are more distressed than ever before and increasing numbers are enrolling with mental-health histories. While institutions were already under pressure to meet students' mental-health needs, the Covid-19 pandemic has made the situation more dire. Counseling-center directors and other clinicians who work with students are seeing a significant increase in anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders, prompting college leaders to look for strategies to support mental health.
