Valin Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Reason Blog: Mental health services are strained—the kids just can't handle failure. Lenore Skenazy Aug. 10, 2016 East Carolina University is offering a new program for its students: "Adulting." The idea is to teach kids coping skills, including how to deal with the trauma of getting a "C" grade. The school felt compelled to do this after a soaring number of students started overburdening the campus's existing mental health services—so much that ECU had to hire two new counselors. According to the local paper, The Daily Reflector: Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Virginia Hardy presented the evidence in a report to the University Affairs Committee of ECU's Board of Trustees in July. According to the report, there were a record number of student conduct, Title IX and general Dean of Students cases in the 2014-15 academic year, and the university saw a spike in demand for counseling services, disability support services and the university's Behavioral Concerns and Care teams.
