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).

Although data contribution is not required, CCMH strongly encourages counseling centers to consider research data contribution. The anonymous data contributed to CCMH benefits counseling centers and college student mental health, as this data is essential for conducting research and updating our clinical tools.  There are various pathways towards permission to contribute such as: Director/VP permission, IRB stating that review is not required, or a formal IRB application resulting in approval/exemption.
