Temple has about 18 mental health counselors; with the additional $1 million, Mandel said he hopes to hire about 10 more, as well as boost the salaries of current staff to make the university more competitive and help with employee retention.
The money also will help the university add a counseling site at the health sciences campus, which is farther north on Broad Street, where Temple’s medical school and dental, pharmacy and nursing programs are based.
Assisting students with mental health challenges ultimately will help them academically, too, said Dan Berman, vice provost for undergraduate studies and task force co-chair. He has noticed an increase in students with mental health challenges who have requested course withdrawals. The mental health challenges may not be the reason for the withdrawal, but they could be a contributing factor, he said.
Temple’s focus on wellness has been expanding. Last fall, the school canceled classes and held its first “wellness day,” encouraging students and staff to use the day to focus on well-being and self-care.
