Mental Health Means Academic Health: An Interview with Harvard’s Richard Kadison
College students, especially those on selective campuses, seem to have it made, acknowledges Richard Kadison, director of Harvard University’s mental health service. But students on all types of campuses face a “multitude of hidden problems” that previous generations didn’t have to confront, he and co-author Theresa Foy DiGeronimo assert in their recent book College of the Overwhelmed: The Campus Mental Health Crisis and What to Do About It. National On-Campus Report recently spoke with Kadison about the book and its argument that providing mental health care supports higher education’s academic mission.
