1. What is the public health problem?
Mental Health Issues among undergraduate, graduate, doctorate students, ages
18 to 28 years old in Los Angeles, California.
2. What is the specific policy solution you’d like to see enacted?
One specific policy that we would like to see enacted is more accessible and
affordable counseling services on college campuses. Accessible counseling is
important for college students because it can provide them with the support they
need during a crucial time in their lives. College can be a stressful and
overwhelming experience, and having access to counseling services can help
students navigate through challenges, manage their mental health, and promote
overall well-being. It’s important to have a safe space where students can
express their thoughts and emotions, receive guidance, and develop coping
strategies. This can ultimately contribute to their academic success, personal
growth, and long-term mental health.
3. Who has the power to vote for or enact this policy?
To enact our affordable counseling services within college campuses, it is
essential to work with the state of California, City of Los Angeles, and each
college campus in Los Angeles to improve mental health concerns. The power
to vote will be for all residents living in Los Angeles, California.
4. What message (i.e., media bite and/or social math statement) would convince
those with the power to enact this policy?
Media bite: “Today many college students face mental health challenges, yet
many are not able to access affordable counseling due to financial barriers. We
urge you to prioritize funding for affordable counseling services. Mental health is
a right. Ensure every student has the resources to succeed academically and
thrive mentally.”
“Break Barriers for Health Minds: Affordable Counseling All Students”
5. What would be the best way to reach these policy makers using the media?
College Campuses post on their social media and all platforms a brochure
informing their students about the different types of services such as counseling
available on campus with information as when/where and how to schedule
appointments. Social media has a huge impact on many college students, some
good and some bad. Having this information and services on school websites is
also another great way to reach these policy makers For those who do not use
social media.
