Welcome to CCMH

The Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH) at Penn State is national research center and international practice-research network of over 800 colleges and universities. CCMH's mission is to bridge the gap between science and practice in college counseling centers.

CCMH collects and analyzes de-identified data as part of routine practice when students seek mental health treatment at colleges and universities. The information is used, in turn, to benefit college counseling centers, administrators, researchers, the public, and most importantly the students receiving services.

College Counseling Centers are invited to join CCMH to begin using the CCAPS and other instruments offered and supported by CCMH.

2024 Annual Report

The CCMH 2024 Annual Report collected data from 213 college and university counseling centers, 173,536 unique college students seeking mental health treatment, 4,954 clinicians and more than 1.2 million appointments from the 2023-24 academic year. This is the 16th year the report has been produced.

This report examined students with a history of suicidal or self-injurious behaviors (S/SIB) who receive college counseling center services. Specifically, CCMH investigated how these students’ clinical characteristics, stressors and contextual factors, service utilization, and treatment outcomes differed from those without these historical risk factors, including whether gaps in care exist.
