University of Utah Tackles Student Anxiety — Lessons for Thai Universities

As new students arrived for the fall term, the University of Utah rolled out a suite of mental-health supports designed to ease stress, loneliness and homesickness — from scheduled visits with a campus service dog to an after‑hours Mental Health First Responders (MH1) programme that connects students to counsellors when regular offices are closed. The initiative is notable not for a single dramatic cure but for layering low‑barrier, familiar interventions with professional care, a model that carries practical lessons for Thai universities grappling with rising student distress and demand for accessible mental health services.
