Campus-Community Partnerships

Abstract

The demand for post-secondary student mental health services and supports is increasing. Campuses and community health organizations are struggling to meet this growing demand. Meanwhile, individual campuses and community agencies have unique skills, resources and/or approaches that would benefit other partners. Developing and strengthening partnerships between community mental health agencies and public post-secondary institutions can enable all service providers to better support the needs of post- secondary students. Working together we believe more can be done to improve the mental health and wellness of students. The Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health has created this toolkit to support the development of campus-community partnerships.
