This study evaluates the effectiveness of the JCTH+ platform, which integrates existing mental health services in tertiary education institutions, compared to standard services.

Assessments will occur at multiple time points over two years to measure changes in mental health symptoms and well-being. Additionally, qualitative interviews will be conducted with staff to gather insights on the integration process and implementation effectiveness.
