Crisis on Campus: College Students and Mental Health

Nearly 40% of U.S. college students report being unable to function due to depression¹. With an average of 1 mental health counselor for every 1,700 students seeking support², we know colleges are struggling to get students the support they deserve. In this webinar, Talkspace’s Director of Clinical Content, Dr. Amy Cirbus, will discuss the unique mental health challenges today’s college students are navigating, as well as strategies and tools to help them cope.

NIC monitors Congress acting on COVID-19 stimulus

We continue to closely monitor the third COVID-19 stimulus package for its impact on our industry. Things are moving at a rapid pace in D.C., with negotiations taking place as we speak. As I reported Friday, there is the potential that the small business interruption loans could benefit our industry. We cannot be sure at this time which entities within our organizations may qualify to benefit from this program. We have learned that there are efforts to limit the loan program to 501(c)(3) nonprofit entities. Therefore, we are working expeditiously with our team in D.C. to advocate for the inclusion of 501(c)(6) and (c)(7) organizations. We cannot be sure whether we will ultimately be able to impact this legislation in a meaningful way, but please know that we are working tirelessly on your behalf. We will keep you posted.

Additionally, the linked letter from the NIC and National Panhellenic Conference was delivered to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday afternoon (March 23) urging Congress to include 501(c)(6) and (c)(7) nonprofit organizations as part of the Paycheck Protection Program in the CARES Act.

IMPORTANT: Time is very limited. If you have direct connections to Leader McConnell or other Congressional leaders, please forward the linked letter along to them.

For additional information, contact NIC General Counsel Clark Brown.

PhiredUpFridays – On-Line Fraternity/Sorority Growth Education

During this Coronavirus/COVID-19 “social distancing” period, Phired Up knows that fraternity/sorority members will continue to desire engaging education about how to grow their organizations. This is one small way we can help members, volunteers, and fraternity/sorority professionals do something that feels normal and productive. We’re sure there are more important things every fraternity/sorority member is concerned about, and we also know that perpetuating brotherhood and sisterhood into the future is always a worthwhile endeavor.
