Progress on 2010-2011 Administrative Support Plan (Strategic Plan)
In order to improve response to students with mental health issues, the following strategic initiatives were completed in FY10
:
To examine the health and mental health needs of Chabot students, the Mental Health
Clinical Supervisor conducted the National College Health Assessment II Survey last
Spring 2010. The survey results provide an objective analysis of student issues and needs based on self-report; students answered a lengthy questionnaire. For example, we now have the percentages of students (out of 685 surveyed) who suffer from suicidal ideation or alcohol addiction. Therefore, we can plan for psycho-educational workshops and information forums to inform, prevent, and respond to the needs of the students.
The survey reports provide the current profile of health, and mental health, trends within the campus community.
