A team of 90 volunteers painted and cleaned the playground at the Pratt House this week to prepare the site for an overhaul next month. College students, part of Students Today Leaders Forever, joined Volunteers of America Chesapeake to enhance the playground at the 35-unit apartment complex for formerly homeless families with two or more children. The recreational area will be rebuilt in April with new equipment for the children, who helped design their dream playground.

That's as many cases as have occurred in a typical year statewide since 2005, when the state health department started tracking outbreaks. Confirmed and suspected infections were found in undergraduate students in multiple class years and living both on and off Loyola's North Baltimore campus.

I applaud this article, as it brings to light the real need for mental health services for college students. I was in the same boat, but I struggled alone. I relate to what many of the students in the article mentioned - a lack of information on mental health, the limited education of the professionals involved, trouble getting an appointment.
