I would recommend that other students use the mental health facilities at ISU.

@oliviaakeyy1 @COMMethods297 Thanks for your feedback and participation!

@COM297Research @COMMethods297 In one of our interviews with an ISU student, they explained that they were upset about the number of sessions being limited. In terms of therapists and their training, our research did not focus on that. Thank you for the response!

@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 Yes! Many of our interviewees experienced this feeling. However, we were able to find that the stigmatization of MH has gotten better in the last ten years.

[Team Be Well @TeamBeWell297]

@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 A good majority of our findings were promotional tweets about MHS. Our research showed that over time awareness has gotten better, and it will continue to improve.

@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 So true! Thanks for participating

[Team Be Well @TeamBeWell297]

@BrennakMooney @COMMethods297 Yes, one of our post findings detailed that if the services building was moved to a more convenient area for students, they would be more likely to utilize services.

@mikemandell23 @Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 In our research, we told our interviewees that their names would not be shared. We also used public posts on social media that were already open to everyone online.

@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 Reddit gave us more raw detailed accounts because there is no character limit like Twitter has, Thanks!

@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 Thanks so much!

@COMMethods297 12/12 #COMference297 Our research highlights that fear of judgment, negative encounters, and budget cuts contribute to students not utilizing university MHS. Though not all findings were related directly to ISU, our data reveals ways to better the MH programs here.

[Team Be Well @TeamBeWell297]

@COMMethods297 11/12 #COMference297 The themes that were most common when people made posts about university mental health/services were College Campus MHS need to be better, Bad and Good experiences, Sports Promotions and Barriers to MH wellness.

@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 We chose to do 20 questions because we wanted to ask enough questions that would allow us to classify our data. However, we did not want so many questions that our participants were overwhelmed and answered distrustfully.

@Nirvana_TheBand @COMMethods297 This info is coming up now.
