Students: Bitter about your school’s mental health care?
Here’s your chance to be counted. I don’t know the content of the survey, but it’s important that students be heard on this subject.
NATIONAL EDUCATION STUDY FOR STUDENTS WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES
An increasing number of students diagnosed with mental illnesses are attending postsecondary institutions such as 4- or 2-year colleges, vocational schools, and graduate schools. However, little research has been done to assess how such diagnoses impact these individuals’ academic and campus experiences.
We are conducting a study of the postsecondary education experiences of students diagnosed with mental illnesses. We are looking for both past and current students who are willing to participate in a brief and anonymous online survey. This survey will provide valuable information about how a student’s mental illness affects their college life. We would be excited to have you participate in our research study if you:
➢ ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN A POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTION, OR HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST
➢ HAVE COMPLETED AT LEAST ONE SEMESTER
➢ HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS
➢ ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD OR OLDER
To show our thanks for your help, participants will be eligible to enter a raffle that will take place at the conclusion of the study. Complete the survey for your chance to win one of:
Two $150 prizes
Two $100 prizes
Ten $ 50 prizes
