As our nation continues
the fight against the spread of
COVID-19 infections and traditional
holiday celebrations shift
to social distancing and virtual
events, many college students
are at home struggling with the
“new norm.” Many are still coping
with the transition to online
learning, following the emergency
closure of campuses in the
spring; and even more are dealing
with financial hardships. At
Kingsborough Community College
(KCC), for example, anxiety,
stress, and depression were
the three top reasons students
sought mental health services
during the spring of 2020 (as reported
by the College’s Counseling
Center).
Like many colleges across
the country, at KCC we pivoted
and took a more intentional approach
to delivering services
and outreach. In October of this
year, the Mental Health Virtual
Check-In went live and since
that time we have seen a steady
increase of students seeking
support for academic-related
stress and anxiety.
After meeting with a counselor
in the Mental Health Virtual
Check-In format, some
students have requested to be
connected to a counselor so they
can receive ongoing counseling
through the Counseling Center.
We expect to see a rise in
students in need of additional
support. The Counseling Center
staff is equipped with full-time
and part-time mental health
counselors and graduate interns
who are prepared to manage the
requests for mental health support.
In addition, since the pandemic
started, KCC has hosted
a monthly Dean’s Dialogue open
to all students. Mental health
services are discussed, and students
hear how our interns (students
in mental health counseling
programs at senior colleges)
have approached the pandemic,
uncertainty, and adjusting their
goals.
Dr. Brian Mitra, dean of Student
Affairs, has held specific
Dean’s Dialogues with targeted
student cohorts, including Men’s
Resources Center, Student Government/
Club Leaders, Student-
Athletes, College Discovery,
CUNY EDGE, TRiO/Access-
Ability students, and others.
“We know that our students
need the support, however, they
are overwhelmed with taking
classes, being a caregiver, loss of
loved ones and jobs, and the uncertainty,
amongst other things.
We are prepared to increase our
caseload and adjust to the needs
of our students in the upcoming
winter module and spring semester,”
said Mitra.
Through the support of
CARES monies, we are following
a more intentional
outreach approach focusing
on students in: Athletics,
College Discovery, Veterans
Affairs, Center for Workforce
and Economic Development,
Career Services, CUNY EDGE,
Student Government/Clubs &
Organizations, Men’s Resource
Center, the Advisement Academies,
ASAP, ESL, KLIP, and
KELI. We have increased mental
health screenings, check-in
hours, extended evening hours,
added professional development
and training for our Counseling
and Health Services staff,
developed student focus groups
to hear what their needs are in
these uncertain times and updated
technology to ensure our
telehealth needs and systems
are current and comprehensive.
We are here to fully support
our college students. These initiatives
are part of the foundation
of services we provide,
including one-on-one personal
counseling, emergency and crisis
intervention, workshops,
events, and student support
groups. Managing mental health
may seem like a ton of weights,
but students don’t have to carry
the weights on their own.
Dr. Claudia V. Schrader is
president of Kingsborough Community
College (KCC), a 72-acre
academic oasis located in beautiful
Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn
that offers students affordable
two-year degrees for their future.
