[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are not equip to deal with mental health challenges.[/quote]

Read the article,  Yale is way beyond this.  They were cruel.[/quote]

Not really.  Schools cannot handle that kind of mental health issues and in a semester or two, its not going to get that much better nor is the right environment.  Those students need to be hospitalized and intensive treatment.[/quote]

NP: Read the article. Many students are relying on the healthcare and supports provided including their friends nearby. Yale certainly has enough money to figure out something in between kicking out students and having students crash & burn on campus indefinitely. There has to be some middle ground. [/quote]

They offer mental health services per the article but not at that level where someone is suicidal.  There is a huge difference between depression and suicidal.  You read the article as the issue is severely mentally ill students.  There is no middle ground.  They need to be in intensive treatment.  Schools cannot provide that.[/quote]
