You are not alone. Finding support can be a phone call away.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n For many college-age students just like you, the transition from high school to dorm life can be a major adjustment. Surrounded by new peers and pressures, you may be focusing on how you are coping as compared to your friends. Perhaps you are seeking new peer groups that make you feel comfortable and wanted.<\/p>\n You may be dealing with mental health issues such as depression or anxiety or issues with substance abuse. Like so many other college-age students, you are probably looking for clues that others are struggling as well. Perhaps you are hoping to see signs that some peers are dealing with the same mental and behavioral health struggles that you are.<\/p>\n This is normal. It protects you from feeling like you are you alone in your fears, anxieties, or even your possible addictions. It can be difficult to distinguish what appropriate responses to your stress levels should be, and so many students find other alternative ways to deal with pressures and anxieties. Some of these may include partying, underage drinking or recreational drug use.<\/p>\n As you can see, statistics have shown that over 41% of all college students express that anxiety is their prevailing mental health concern. It has been said that this number is low and that many more students experience high levels of anxiety on a regular basis.<\/p>\n Stephanie Lake, Intervention Services Coordinator within University of California Davis Student Health and Counseling Center, shared her insight on the growing trends on college campuses.<\/p>\n \u201cAt UC Davis, we are always compiling statistics within our own student demographic. We create information reports specific to Davis\u2019 own students to aid with recognizing substance use vs substance abuse. The data collected is structured into charts that include alcohol and drug statistics allowing students to see where their own drinking or pill popping compares to other students within the Davis student body.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Stephanie has worked with the UC Davis students for 20 years and her focus of expertise is substance abuse and mental health intervention. Through this work with students, she has helped shape the landscape of care within their on-campus Health Services Center.<\/p>\n Did you know that college campuses, perhaps your own, have counseling clinics with hours to fit your class and work schedule?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nDo you find yourself asking questions like these?<\/h4>\n
