[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently found out our child was not attending classes and stopped taking their medication.  They spent last year doing remote and the school did nothing to help all those now sophomores on campus get to know each other etc like they do for freshman orientation.  Basically another disappointment for the class of 2020.

[b]We connected with their advisor who assured them that professors are there to help and they want to .  Fast forward a little and the meetings with professors went well and things appear to be back on track.  Without their professors reaching out to the advisor we would have never known until things couldn't be turned around.  [/b]

Many schools put on the we take mental health seriously but they don't.  They don't take substance abuse seriously or other conditions.  I am hopeful this school will put more into the substance abuse and mental illness.  time will tell but I am glad there are professors out there like you that recognize this.

Nobody chooses to be depressed yet there is that stigma that comes with it and this week apparently is mental health awareness week or something so all the schools are jumping on the bandwagon to check the box and then move on.  [/quote]

So you...contacted your child's college advisor?  [/quote]
