Boynton Health Service is investigating another way to address the ever-increasing demand for mental health resources on the University of Minnesota campus.
This time, it’s catering to what often seems like the crux of college students’ lives — the mobile phone.
Boynton hopes to give more students access to the help they need by offering mental health intervention services through text messaging. Researchers are applying for a grant to help develop and evaluate the project, but they plan to keep exploring the idea even without receiving funding.
