“When we deny the story, it defines us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new ending.”
—Brené Brown
Our services and interventions are informed by the most recent research on college mental health, emerging adulthood (ages 18-29), trauma-informed approach, and sociocultural issues in mental health.
Mental health difficulties among college populations have been increasing and there is a significant demand for services.
The developmental stage between the ages of 18-29 is defined by intense personal, social, vocational explorations; feeling in between; instability; and possibilities.
Trauma-informed care is characterized by acknowledging the prevalence of trauma and how it can affect people and groups, recognizing the signs of trauma, having a system which can respond to trauma, and resisting re-traumatization.
Sociocultural factors such as gender identity, sexual orientation, social class, race and ethnicity, disability status , etc. are core to mental health difficulties.
