How to AUCCCD

One of the greatest membership benefits of AUCCCD is free access to the Journal of College Student Mental Health, formerly the Journal of College Student Psychotherapy. The name was recently changed to better reflect mental health work on university and college campuses. We are currently working on publishing a Special Edition focused on The Future of College Student Mental Health. We hope you will read it to gain insight, generate additional ideas, and be inspired to publish your own article in the Journal. You can access the Journal on the AUCCCD website under the Resources tab.
