demonstrate attention to the holistic needs and well-being of our students' results in increased retention, completion, and reported coping. The data also reflects that mental health service and care at the WSCTC level is a barrier reducer for populations

offerings will continue to lack the ability to meet students where they are in terms of multi-systems case management interwoven into therapeutic offerings. Another consideration to take into account is the Union position and negotiation on an implementation
of a telehealth system which will be a campus-by-campus and case-by-case situation as faculty counselors are a contractually protected position. </span></span><br class="ContentPasted0">
