Lauren Fields "Why more and more college students are finding mental health support online."

The Deseret News, 13 Jan. 2017. Web. 24 Oct. 2019.

https://www.deseret.com/2017/1/13/20603991/why-more-and-more-college-students-are-

finding-mental-health-support-online

The author discusses how universities attempt to cater to the demands of providing more

outselling Staff to meet their students' health needs. Fields (2017) asserts that increasing funding

for such programs may not bear positive results, but instead, employing the help of the internet

could result in quicker and more significant benefits to the individuals. In essence, the writer

goes at lengths to explain the various tools and methods that the internet can provide to reduce

mental stress and depression, which according to her, is a common part of university life.

The author employs ethos in various parts, which makes her and her information credible.

For instance, she refers to the Center of Collegiate Mental Health, a research organization that

gives up-to-date information on the mental health of college students. She also mentions notable

individuals in the world of mental health such as universities and licensed psychologists and

utilizes their claims to make her points credible. She mentions the CEO of Alpha Tau Omega,

Wynn Smiley, the nationwide fraternity that has teamed up with online platforms such as Talk

Therapy to help individuals get help with mental issues.

Logos, which is the appeal to logic, is also employed in the article with the author

introducing the Talkspace Therapy application. The application brings together professionals and

victims of mental health, especially those who fear the intimidation of face to face meetings.

This argument logically endorses the idea of online therapy, which can help take pressure from

universities.
