HBO Documentary Highlights An Innovation In College Mental Health

HBO Documentary Highlights An Innovation In College Mental Health
SHARE

In a recent report by Statista, it was revealed that nearly 10% of college students receiving mental health care were hospitalized from 2023 to 2024. This sheds light on the importance of addressing mental health concerns among college students, especially when traditional therapy may not be sufficient. Hospitalizations can be a crucial aspect of mental health treatment for students facing intense struggles.

To provide a closer look at how hospitals address these concerns, HBO premiered a two-part documentary titled “One South: Portrait of A Psych Unit” last year. The documentary focused on Northwell’s Zucker Hillside Hospital, which is one of the few inpatient psychiatric units in America dedicated to treating college students. Filmmakers Lindsey Megrue and Alexandra Shiva aimed to demystify and destigmatize inpatient care through this project.

Dr. Laura Braider, a clinical psychologist and associate vice president of behavioral health at Northwell Health, explained the rationale behind establishing a psychiatric unit specifically for college students. She highlighted the challenges faced by young adults admitted to general psychiatric units, where they may feel out of place among older patients with different experiences. The concept of universality in mental health treatment, as discussed in a Psychology Today report, emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive and relatable environment for patients.

The documentary showcased how the hospital’s focus on college students has had a positive impact on treatment outcomes. By collaborating with over 100 colleges and universities through Northwell’s Behavioral Health College Partnership, the hospital provides comprehensive psychiatric services tailored to the unique needs of young adults. Dr. Braider emphasized the importance of creating a culture of healing that resonates with college students.

The response to the documentary has been overwhelmingly positive, with families and team members gaining a better understanding of the program’s approach to mental health care. Patients featured in the film expressed a willingness to participate and contribute to raising awareness about mental health issues among their peers. The documentary also highlighted the effectiveness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in treating suicidality and emotional dysregulation.

Looking ahead, the filmmakers hope that “One South” will help destigmatize inpatient treatment and encourage more open dialogue about mental health challenges. By showcasing the success stories of students who have benefited from hospitalization, they aim to inspire others to seek help without fear or hesitation. The documentary serves as a beacon of hope for those struggling with mental health issues, emphasizing that recovery and a fulfilling life are achievable goals.
