J Am Coll Health. 2009 Jan-Feb;57(4):455-6. doi: 10.3200/JACH.57.4.455-456.

Abstract

The authors present an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to address the problem of increasing student mental health issues on college campuses. The model uses addiction and depression as lenses into the problem and links residence life and academic and community internship experiences. The project has a positive impact on student attitudes and actions and strengthens and broadens the campus network required to ensure optimal student mental health.
