more and more students are seeking help for mental illness – and finding it at UK
By Jacob Eads
news@kykernel.com
oncerns about student mental health are growing across the nation, and UK is not immune. In the 2016-2017 fiscal year, 1,055 reports were filed with the Community of Concern, an on-campus resource devoted to addressing student and employee well-being and campus safety. That number was a 30 percent increase from the 2015-2016 fiscal year, according an annual report from the Office of Student and Academic Life. This mark is already close to being eclipsed again, only nine months into the 2017-2018 fiscal year. The COC office had just received its 1,000th report in the early days of March, according to Therese Smith, COC director. “I think a lot of universities across the nation are recognizing the importance of [mental health], and that our students are coming for a variety of reasons. I mean for a variety of reasons, our students are more anxious than previous generations,” said Assistant Director of the UK Counseling Center Megan Marks. “Growing up in a pretty scary world contributes to it, and there are also high stakes in college.”

Seemingly refreshed from the recent spring holiday, UK students have returned to their clocklike routines to prepare for the taxing back end of the spring semester. Over the next five weeks, students will be pitted against the everyday issues that invite student anxiety and other mental illnesses right into their 4 | kentucky kernel
own backyards. However, the UK administration is not ignoring these challenges that students face; university officials are doing their best to provide students with the necessary resources. The COC is one of those resources. The current COC Team was constructed in July 2013 when UK merged the Students of Concern and Employees of Concern Teams. Those initial groups were fabricated as part of a heightened security movement

following the the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting. Members of the UK community can file reports with the COC when they feel students are showing signs of academic, financial or mental distress. Then the COC will follow a detailed plan to best assist the individual of concern based on their case rubric. Smith said it would be “very irresponsible” to assume that a majority of the people that interact with the COC pose a threat to anyone on campus. “Most people do need some support, do need some help, do need some intervention, but it’s so they can be successful and not disruptive, not because they’re going to hurt someone else,” Smith said. Smith said that by supporting those who are

The Counseling Center tends to conduct roughly 11,000 to 12,000 individual and group appointments and sees an estimated 2,200 unique clients per year, and those numbers don’t include the centers drop-in services, Marks said. Roughly 72 percent of the counseling center’s clients are repeat visitors, while the average client visits the counseling center for five sessions, according to Marks. The counseling center is involved in more than

understanding student stressors
Like the COC, the UK Counseling Center is a free campus resource. It offers “confidential, short-term therapy to support students’ growth and to assist students with mental health, academic, or personal concerns that may interfere with academic perfor-

300 outreach programs each year that help contribute to the volume of clients it attains— the programs reach almost 10,000 individuals. During these outreach sessions, employees spread awareness about the counseling center and speak on topics like career decision making, forming healthy relationships and suicide prevention. Professionals at these campus resource locations are no strangers to the tribulations and stress of the academic school year, seeing firsthand the
effects of midterm and finals weeks. “With the academic calendar, obviously there are some ebb and flows… crunch time months are going to be September, October and November,” said Marks. Along with February and March, she added later. She cited the stress of midterms as one predominant factor in this increase of appointments. The Counseling Center sees an estimated 50 to 60 brand new clients each week during these “crunch time months,” according to Marks. September and October see the highest numbers of reports to the COC, according to a report of the 2016-2017 fiscal year from the Office of Student and Academic Life.
moving forward
Campus stakeholders are also aware of the changing climate of student anxiety and mental health. Some have even made it a priority to tackle the issues at their sources. Current Student Government Association President Ben Childress recently presented his proposal for instituting a fall break into the academic calendar to the University Senate. According to the proposal, the first introduction of the break would appear in the Fall 2019 semester. “In my mind, it’s a common sense method that we can take that will positively impact mental health and wellness on our college campus,” Childress said. “Sometimes all it takes is visiting home, just taking that time and not doing anything in your dorm room, or catching up on sleep. I mean, that stuff can do wonders.”
Childress’ administration also launched a mental health and wellness task force earlier this academic year. Childress said the group had some very productive meetings and is eager to see the fruits of its labor. SGA President-Elect Michael Hamilton expressed that mental health and wellness hits close to home, after he watched one of his close friends struggle with issues of mental health. “If we don’t accomplish anything else, we’ve got to do something to alleviate that for students,” Hamilton said. His administration created a new position within the SGA office titled the “Director of Innovation and Initiatives.” This staff member will deal with any new issues that come to the student government, and the first item on the chopping block is addressing mental health treatment here at UK, according to Hamilton. His team is formulating the idea of creating an ambassador program full of students who are open about their use of the Counseling Center and other mental health resource centers in order to reduce the stigma behind student anxiety, and show the student body that mental health isn’t some “weird, taboo thing,” Hamilton said. “I think it’s just tackling that stigma. We go to the University Health Services if we have a cold. I want to see, one day, the Counseling Center be that normal,” he said. Professionals at the campus resource locations dedicated to mental health and wellness also commented on this changing level of acceptance. “I do sense that students are getting more comfortable with being open and honest about their needs related to mental health, but there’s still a lot of stigma,” said Smith.

opinions EDITORIAL
With students in anxiety overload, normalizing treatment is a positive step Fifty-nine people were shot and killed, another 441 injured, in the shooting that occurred at a music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Oct. 1, 2017. Terror rang through the United States, leaving everyone wondering if anywhere was safe. On Feb. 14, 2018, 17 people were shot and killed, another 17 injured, in the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The nation was left to pick up the broken pieces of yet another mass shooting. Classrooms and concerts had been compromised. In January 2018, USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for the sexual abuse of more than 160 women. In the same month, it was revealed that 37 professors and staff members at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee were accused of sexual assault and harassment in the past five years. The allegations and affirmations of sexual assault throughout the United States have skyrocketed in recent years, reaching new heights this past year alone. The #MeToo movement has become a demand for change and a cry for
complicity to end. Mass shootings combined with a nation riddled with sexual assault, along with common every day stressors, have increased the need for us to start paying

the next mass shooting, the overwhelming prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses, or the more mundane stressors, including academic, personal, family, financial and future stress, the mental health of America’s students is not something we should be shying away from. The reality of the world we live in lends itself to be a breeding ground for countless anxieties that students will suffer from. Add this “scary” environment to the already innately stressful environment of college and it’s not surprising that we find our students in anxiety overload. So, what can be done? How can we help relieve the built-up pressure, stress, fear, or whatever it may be? Students may visit UK’s Counseling Center or Community of Concern for a variety of reasons, but they should never be made to feel that reaching out for help is a sign of weakness. Rather, taking the step to better yourself is a sign of productivity and positive strength. Over the past few years, with the state our country is in, we are seeing the stigma around therapy start to fall by the wayside. People are seeking out help and guid-
ance because they are recognizing that help and guidance are needed in our current healing culture. With the weight of the world already bearing down on students, the stress of family problems, re-
There needs to be a driving force on our campus to help continue to reduce the stigma behind student anxiety and seeking out help from counseling centers. lationship issues, academic success surrounding midterms and finals, as well as looking ahead toward their futures, mental health should be a priority. Keeping it together all of the time is just not realistic, and it is okay to need an outside guiding force to help you work your way through an area of concern in your life. This is what the Counseling Center and Community of
Concern are for; let these free resources here at UK help you. Despite what some may say about therapy, there’s nothing wrong with seeking out a helping hand. It is important, even vital, in today’s world filled with terrorism, hate, and misconduct, for us to spread awareness about the real, positive impact that seeking out counseling can do for a person. Counseling centers can, and do, help individuals with a number of concerns, including career decision making, forming and maintaining healthy relationships, time management skills, victim advocacy and suicide prevention. UK Student Government Association’s president-elect is correct in saying there needs to be a driving force on our campus to help continue to reduce the stigma behind student anxiety and seeking out help from counseling centers. There comes a time in everyone’s life when they need someone else to help them figure things out. Silence and solitude is not the answer. Seeking guidance is a step in the right direction.

is Centro. Centro is a beer, bourbon and wine bar with a patio in the center of all the action during the crawl. “So many different people will be out and dressed up in crazy ‘90s gear, you’re bound to make new friends and have a memorable night,” said Aimee Lanza, owner of Centro. Another restaurant participating in the crawl is Shakespeare and Co. Marketing Manager Marina Barksdale said the restaurant loves being a part of bar crawls because it’s an opportunity to showcase the bar and the “awesome drinks” offered. Shakespeare and Co.’s special drinks include $5 kamikaze shots, purple hooter shooters and the red-headed lady drink.
“Who doesn’t love a bar crawl?” Barksdale said. After participants register at Tin Roof from 2 to 5 p.m., they can go to remaining bars in any order. Crawlers can use the interactive map provided.

Daniel working to be a The best, worst moments leader for football team of men’s basketball season By Chris Leach
By Chris Leach
sports@kykernel.com
sports@kykernel.com
Proving to be a talented football player is one of the best methods of earning more playing time, but there are other ways to get noticed by coaches. One of those methods is accepting a leadership role, something that junior inside linebacker Kash Daniel is trying to do and that all defensive units need. “I think that if you’re a defensive player, especially as a linebacker, especially as an inside linebacker, that a leadership role is needed, especially in your MIKE-backer, that’s your voice of your defense,” Daniel said. “I’m willing to step up in that role and take on any leadership role that they throw at me.” Daniel certainly has the talent to be a good defensive contributor; he just hasn’t had the opportunity to prove himself yet. In his two seasons at UK, Daniel has accumulated 26 tackles, more than 25 percent of which came from one game against Austin Peay during his freshman year. Daniel has mostly spent time playing on special teams due to better players being in front of him. Courtney Love has been one of the starting inside linebackers and captains each of the last two seasons, not giving Daniel much of an opportunity to see the playing field. With 10 of the 11 starters from last season’s defense returning for 2018, there isn’t much room to squeeze in

Daniel for some extra playing time. However, the one position that needs filled is the spot that Love is leaving behind, giving Daniel the chance to see the field.
“For me, it’s kind of like saying, ‘It’s my time.’ My time is here and I’m not going to let it slip throug my fingers.” Kash Daniel “For me, it’s kind of like saying ‘It’s my time,’” Daniel said. “My time is here and I’m not going to let it slip through my fingers.” If Daniel wants to take full advantage of the opening on defense, stepping into a leadership role would be a big boost to his playing time
hopes, and the defense as a whole. Many talented members of last year’s defense, such as Mike Edwards and Josh Allen, are returning for their senior seasons, but none of them have the leadership qualities that Love had. A defense can be talented but unproductive if it’s missing that leadership voice. While it will be hard for Daniel to step into that role due to his lack of playing time, it could be a big addition to a defense that already has a lot of positive things going for it. Aside from being a leader, Daniel wants to be a contributor on defense by more than doubling his tackling count next season. Daniel already believes he can do that; he’s just got to fine tune his skills before kickoff approaches on Sept. 1. “I feel like I got the big things down, just shine up some of the little mistakes here and there and get ready to play ball,” Daniel said.
Usually men’s basketball seasons at UK feature dominant wins and few losses, but this past season was different. The 2017-2018 campaign saw the highest of highs and the lowest of lows that all accumulated into one of the more interesting but entertaining UK basketball seasons in recent memory. The season was cut short in a loss to Kansas State in the Sweet 16, but that didn’t erase some of the top moments that took place during the season. Here are the best and the worst of this season. Top: 29-point victory over Louisville When the team defeats its archrival by 29 coming off a bad loss, the feelings towards the game are going to be pretty good. Not only was the margin of defeat over the opponent worthy of being a top moment, the performances by the players were also something to notice. This game was the breakout game for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who finished with 24 points, five rebounds and four assists. Quade Green, PJ Washington and Hamidou Diallo also had big games to help lead the beat-down over the Cardinals. Worst: Four-game losing streak Head Coach John Calipari had never lost three consecutive games in his time at UK before this season, but the young group of freshmen broke this historic feat and took it a step further by losing four games in a row in early February. Three of the four losses
were at least decided by nine points, with the Cats looking particularly unimpressive in most of them. The best they performed during the losing streak was the home loss to Tennessee, which the Cats gave away at the end with some costly mistakes. It’s unlikely Calipari will endure many four-game losing streaks while coaching the Cats, but that’s something this year’s team has etched in the history books. Top: SEC Tournament championship UK went into the SEC Tournament as the No. 4 seed and not the favorite to win the title, but by the end of the weekend in St. Louis, the Cats had proven to be the top team in the SEC by being on the winning end of the Sunday confetti shower. To get to the championship game, they had to defeat feisty teams like Georgia and the Collin Sexton-led Crimson Tide. Then, in the championship game, the Cats had to defeat Tennessee, who was favored to win the whole thing before the tournament started.
During the championship run, the Cats had shown a good balance of pass-friendly offense and excellent defense that had Cats fans excited heading into the NCAA Tournament. Worst: Sweet 16 loss to Kansas State After Selection Sunday, not many chose the Cats to make it out of the dreadful South Region that featured many of the country’s top teams, but after a first weekend filled with surprising upsets, UK was favored to reach the Final Four during the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 weekend. However, all of that unraveled after Kansas State executed its game plan to perfection and took down UK in the Sweet 16. The upset was a shocking one to Cats fans, who thought their team was Final Four bound before the weekend even started. Many of UK’s stars, such as Washington and Gilgeous-Alexander, all had off nights that helped sink UK and bring a sudden end to the season.
