Hello A.M,
I like the arrangement of your work. I agree that a lot of students who are placed on waitlist, due to the lack of space, do not seek counselling services in many instances. Most students that face crisis may become depressed or have emotional disturbances that may later affect their education quality. Reducing the sessions for each student might encourage more students to become vulnerable to counselling sessions and seek help in identifying their underlying emotional problems. Creating more room for more students and providing help much faster will reduce the chance of students making ill decisions. Survey that will be done will provide data on the number of students facing crisis and how they get to deal with their mental issues. I would suggest the presence of a control group of students that will not receive help from the wellness center. This will help in making conclusions whether the counselling sessions helps students heal their mental issues. All in all, this is such a good idea A.M.

Hello D.J,
Poverty and homelessness is a devastating issue that is affecting many people. These population end up making wrong choices in life that may cause them to end up behind bars or rather as you have said; recidivism. I work with children between 0-17 years and what I know is that learning groups an educational programs help these young adults to learn to become responsible in life. The programs give the young adults the meaning of life of which due to their current position may seem impossible. I agree that due to these learning programs, most of these homeless and poverty stricken communities will not fall back to crime. It is not their fault that they turn to recidivism, but rather; circumstances make them to. This is an exciting study to work on. Cheers D. J!
