5 Low-Budget Ways to Address Mental Health Needs

When it comes to student mental health, the need is huge, but the budget? Not so much. If you’ve ever looked around your school and thought, “How am I supposed to support these students with so little to work with?”, this episode is for you. I’m sharing five practical, low-cost (or completely free) ways to address mental health needs on your campus.

Whether you’re part of a fully staffed counseling department or flying solo, the truth is, you don’t have to do this alone. These strategies aren’t about adding more to your plate; they’re about giving you tools you can have in your back pocket, so you’re not starting from scratch in the middle of a crisis. Having these tools ready will help you feel more confident and grounded when it matters most!
