Students at Texas State University will receive expanded access to mental health and basic needs support through a new partnership with TimelyCare, the premier provider of virtual health and well-being resources in higher education. Students can access these services at no additional cost to them via the TimelyCare App or by visiting TXST Timely-Care.
The agreement allows Texas State to comprehensively address students’ mental health and overall well-being at a time when the 24/7 access to high-quality care has never been more important. The new service was initiated by The Texas State University System for all seven system institutions.
According to the American Council on Education, student mental health is the top concern of college and university presidents. It’s also the number one reason students leave college. A recent report by Gallup and the Lumina Foundation found that 69% of students in bachelor’s degrees programs who considered dropping out cited emotional stress as their reason.
