Individual-Level Interventions

The CSUEB Student Health Services provide students with medical services, counseling, and health education. This relates to the article because this is an example of an individual-level intervention. Student’s overall health is extremely important while they are going to school, and having access and resources on campus makes it easier for students to receive help they need. I personally have never used the services in the health center, but I have a friend who uses the counseling services. She has mentioned that having that resource on campus has helped her a lot in her time at East Bay. Student’s mental well-being is something that is not talked about all the time, but can cause issues with their schoolwork if not taken care of. Having these counseling services on campus opens the door to the discussion of mental health, and makes it something of importance. In addition, having health education provided at school is important for those who are becoming sexually active or who are already active. It is imperative students know how to take care of themselves, and are given proper information. It may be intimidating for some people to talk about what is going on if they get an STD, and having the health center on campus helps students to ask questions or get any treatment they may need.
