Membership Benefits

CCMH is a member driven Practice-Research-Network. What this means is that the applied clinical work of CCMH counseling centers drives CCMH produced research on college student mental health, and the development of high-quality data standards, which in turn can inform college and university policy and procedure.

Participating CCMH centers directly contribute to CCMH while simultaneously increasing their outcomes reporting capabilities through routine clinical practice. This is possible through use of the CCAPS, Standardized Data Set (SDS) forms, and the Clinical Load Index (CLI).
