The Depression Reduction Achieving Wellness (DRAW) program is a campus‐linked project that addresses the first onset of a psychiatric illness in students through collaboration with an institution of higher education.
DRAW provides students with education regarding both the cultivation of wellness approaches and the identification of signs and symptoms of mental illness, short‐term low‐intensity intervention services, referrals to community‐based agencies for more extended or intensive services when needed, and training for college staff on the signs and symptoms of depression.
