In this episode, Texas Christian University’s (TCU) Director of Counseling and Mental Health, Eric Wood, Ph.D., LPC, explores how TCU’s Comprehensive Collaborative Care Model is enhancing the effectiveness and level of care colleges and universities can provide to students. In this timely conversation, we also outline the model’s key initiatives to expand the scope and meaning of mental health support by leveraging strategic and collaborative community and campus partnerships, building student-led peer support communities that foster belonging and using data to make informed decisions. Plus, Eric reveals key strategies about navigating the future of student mental health on campuses.
