Mindful Campus: Navigating Mental Health in College

Building the Raft While Drowning: Searching for Mental Health Help & Hope in Rural America

In this episode I am joined by Dr. William Burns, Director of the North Dakota State University Counseling Center and Katie Fitzsimmons, Director of Student Affairs for the North Dakota University System.
During our time together we discuss mental health services for college students across the state, the epidemic of lonlieness that has reached our campuses, and the role that talk therapy can have on improving anyone's life.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988.
