Universities Mental Health Help is Slacking

The article I found here provided a much needed input on mental health help available at Texas universities. With the amount of access that students need to get help for mental health slacking, students could feel discouraged about getting the help they need. This article is well worth the read since this a growing issue that we need to be more aware about. The founding for counselors needs to be increased to help the students that need it. Needing more founding means paying more money for tuition, which already makes students stressed out about money. The recommended amount of counselors to students is one to 1,000-1,000. Most of the Texas universities didn't come close to meeting this standard. The closest was UT at  one to 1,810. Texas needs to put view this issue at a higher level then they are now.
