For decades, the supply of mental health professionals on college campuses nationwide hasn’t met the demand, according to data collected between 2013 and 2021.
Without a substantial influx of dollars and providers, there’s no way to meet every student’s needs, said Dr. Saimir Thano, director of the Peer Educator Program at UC Irvine. But he tries to fill in some of the gaps.
Dr. Jessica Ortega, director of the COACH Program at UC Irvine, the university’s peer counseling program, said such efforts serve as a pipeline for students of color and LGBTQ students to get the support they need. She now works at UC Irvine as a financial aid counselor, but hopes to join the psychological services team.
Despite such efforts, program directors across the state agreed students still slip through the cracks.
