Abstract: Many college students experience mental and behavioral health challenges that can impede them from achieving their education and career attainment goals, especially if they lack access to appropriate care and resources. Responses to the HMS survey highlight a critical need for readily accessible mental health services at community colleges. While many students are struggling with their mental health, a significant portion face financial barriers to seeking professional support. This underscores the importance of providing no-cost mental health services, ensuring that all students, regardless of their financial situation, can access the care they need to thrive and succeed. In recognition of widespread college student needs, the Budget Acts of 2021 and 2022 included $30 million in ongoing local assistance funds for mental health services in the California Community Colleges. The Chancellor's Office has directed campuses to use the funding for student-centered, evidence-based supports that promote equitable access to culturally responsive mental health services. This report describes how colleges used these funds in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years. In 2022-23, 107 colleges submitted the required year-end report, while 111 colleges submitted reports in 2021-22.
