Stabilization of Students With Mental Health Crises in Nigeria's Higher Institutions
Abstract
This chapter explores the roles of school counselors in stabilizing students facing mental health crises in higher institutions of learning in Nigeria. The challenges of mental health crises are huge because misconceptions about mental health continue to thrive, even among students of higher institutions of learning. Crisis intervention has become inevitable as traumatic events like school shootings, sexual harassment, abduction, and suicide continue to hold sway in campuses. The study looks at cases of traumatic events that could trigger mental health crisis and prevalence of mental health challenges drawn from research. This contribution makes a clarion call to school counselors to make stabilization of students' mental health a priority. It also recommends, among others, government involvement in creating mental health awareness across the country.
