Summer Classes Come with a Mental Load
For many students, summer isn’t a break; it’s a challenge. Classes move quickly, deadlines stack up fast, and the pressure to perform increases. There’s little time to decompress, especially when you’re also working, managing bills, or supporting family.
This intense pace leads to fatigue, anxiety, and emotional burnout. Some students keep going until they crash, assuming they need to tough it out. But taking care of your mental health isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s how you stay strong for the long term.
Pressures Outside the Classroom Add Up
College life in Las Vegas often includes more than coursework. Many students juggle part-time or full-time jobs, commuting, family responsibilities, and financial concerns. It’s a constant balancing act.
These responsibilities make it harder to find time or energy for mental health. They also increase the risk of feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or emotionally exhausted. The expectation to “do it all” leaves little room for rest or reflection.
Support shouldn’t feel like another burden. It should be something that fits into your life, not complicates it.
UNLV Students Face Academic and Personal Stress
The University of Nevada, Las Vegas has a diverse student population that includes working students, commuters, and those supporting families while attending school. These added pressures can make it harder to find time for self-care or reach out for help.
UNLV offers mental health services through its Student Counseling and Psychological Services program. CAPS provides short-term individual counseling, group therapy, crisis support, and referrals to community providers when needed. Services are available to enrolled students to support emotional well-being throughout the academic year.
CSN Students Carry More Than Course Loads
At the College of Southern Nevada, students come from a wide range of life stages and experiences. Some are returning to school later in life. Others are managing full-time jobs or raising children while working toward a degree.
CSN students often need mental health support that is flexible and judgment-free. CSN offers confidential Counseling & Psychological Services for enrolled students, including short-term support, crisis intervention, and referrals. Services are designed to help with academic stress, personal challenges, and mental health needs.
Therapy Is Within Reach
Many students avoid therapy because they believe it’s too expensive or complicated. Others assume they won’t qualify for help. These beliefs can delay much-needed care.
At Golden Touch, we offer:
- Affordable sessions, including Medicaid-friendly options
- Flexible scheduling for busy students
- A non-judgmental space to talk about stress, anxiety, or anything on your mind
- Support that is easy to start, even if it’s your first time
Mental health care should not be limited to those with extra time or money. Everyone deserves support, and we make it easier to access.
When to Consider Reaching Out
You don’t need to wait for a crisis to seek support. If you are:
- Struggling to concentrate or sleep
- Feeling anxious, low, or constantly stressed
- Losing interest in school, work, or hobbies
- Worrying about tuition, grades, or your future
- Feeling alone or unsure who to talk to
It’s okay to ask for help. These feelings are valid, and support is available. Golden Touch Behavioral Care Center offers a safe, affordable, and judgment-free space for students who are ready to talk and start feeling better.
Simple Ways to Prioritize Your Mental Health
If you’re not ready for therapy or aren’t sure where to start, try one of these manageable steps:
Talk to Someone You Trust
This could be a friend, teacher, or family member. Speaking openly can reduce feelings of isolation.
Explore Self-Help Tools
Journaling, stress logs, or reflection worksheets can help you understand your emotions and find small areas of control.
Look Into Local Clinics
Las Vegas has mental health centers offering sliding-scale pricing and Medicaid-friendly services. These programs are built to increase accessibility for those managing tight budgets.
What Families Can Do to Help
Parents and guardians can play a significant role in a student’s emotional well-being. You don’t need to have all the answers to make a difference. A few helpful steps include:
- Listening without judgment
- Acknowledging that college stress is real
- Helping your student look into therapy options
- Encouraging them to care for their mental health like they would their physical health
Your support could be the reason they finally feel safe enough to reach out.
