Wellness at Universities: A Group Art Therapy Approach
Art therapy process groups can be used at university counseling centers (UCCs) to treat the mental health needs of higher education students. The authors, art therapists employed at a UCC, developed an art therapy group to engage undergraduate students in creative self ‐expression to increase social connection and learn healthy skills to improve insight and emotional well‐being. Such groups offer unique benefits to participants and would be a valuable addition to current UCC services. (Source: Journal of College Counseling)

Findings from hierarchical regression analyses suggested that academic rational beliefs related to evaluation and work habits accounted for a significant amount of variance in grit. Work habits explaine d a significant portion of the variance in resilience. On the basis of these results, recommendations for future research and implications for college counselors are offered.

Feeling Fat and Depressed? Dimensions of Self ‐Concept That Affect Men
Self ‐concept (SC), a multidimensional construct, consistently predicts expected outcomes. Of importance, however, having high SC on even one dimension can be protective. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses of the data of 239 college men suggest that feeling positive about one's relationships pro tects men who feel fat from experiencing symptoms of depression at the intensity of their similarly body‐dissatisfied peers who do not report positive Family or Social SC. The authors discuss implications for college personnel. (Source: Journal of College Counseling)

Establishing the Initial Validity of the REDFLAGS Model: Implications for College Counselors
The aim of this study was to initially validate the REDFLAGS model, 8 cautionary warning signs of mental distress in college students. A test of internal consistency reliability and factor analysis supported the model's reliability and construct validity. Hierarchical logistic regression models endorsed the model's predictive validity; students ’ recognition of the REDFLAGS model was significantly associated with increases in the odds of a peer‐to‐peer referral to the counseling center. Implications for college counselors are discussed. (Source: Journal of College Counseling)
