A Lifeline For College Students With Depression
The emotional and intellectual challenges of college can knock students off balance. One group is especially at risk: students with mental illnesses. The illnesses are isolating, and the students may be far from the support of their family. Students with depression, bipolar disease or schizophrenia have to find their own way through. That's what 22-year-old college senior Juliana Kerrest has done, with the help of a group called Active Minds, which was started by Alison Malmon to raise mental health awareness on college campuses. Malmon was a presenter at EWA's 2008 national seminar in Chicago.
