Levels of Care

NKU has a long history of providing extensive student support services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, navigating this system can sometimes prove challenging.

With that in mind, the MHAG created the NKU Levels of Care, a visual depiction of the tiers of mental health and wellness services that exist on campus. Its purpose is two-fold:

  • First, it provides students with an accessible guide illustrating the variety of support options available to them, beginning with tools for guided self- care, progressing through group counseling and peer/campus network support options, then shifting to individualized prospects for mental health care with clinical professionals.
  • Second, it serves as a touchstone for the university’s mental health improvement efforts, a part of the MHAG’s ongoing campus-wide needs assessment.

Overall, the goal is to make mental health care proactive, routine, and stigma-free.
