Following a nearly $300,000 boost in mental health services, Boynton Health Service is aiming to significantly cut down — if not eliminate — its wait times for mental health counseling.
To help address the growing demand for mental health services at the University, the investment is enough to staff six-and-a-half full-time-equivalent counselors at Boynton. Boynton plans to hire the equivalent of four full-time counselors, and Student Counseling Services will hire the equivalent of two-and-a-half counselors, according to officials from each center.
