Mental Health Services in 21st Century Higher Education

A Conversation with Dr. Aresh Assadi, University of Arkansas at Little Rock

On May 4, 2023, JPHE Senior Editor Z.W. Taylor spoke with Dr. Aresh Assadi. Dr. Assadi received his doctorate from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock where he currently works as the Director of the Counseling Center. Dr. Assadi also serves on the board of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the Arkansas chapter, and is the research connections chair.

Dr. Assadi’s work has required him to set up different mental health literacy programs, bringing in different speakers from around the nation to come, do webinars, and open up conversations about mental health in higher education contexts. As someone who just completed his doctoral work, Dr. Assadi shared his professional experience as a counselor, a scholar-practitioner in the space of mental health and wellness, and what higher education needs to do to better serve the mental health needs of its stakeholders.

Since Journal of Praxis in Higher Education’s first issue in 2019, our journal team has worked hard to share, discuss, and spread our agenda. In doing so, we have tried to expand our interests, but also work on our internal journal identity. When asked about our scope and aim, we usually say that we want to create and maintain a journal that is independent, alternative, fresh, and highly relevant. We argue that we want a journal that is less ranking-obedient, but certainly critical and creative with high quality publications. Indeed, we even convey our preference for a slower pace over the potential constraints of being embedded in large publishing houses and external funding. In short, we say that our journal strives to be different in terms of what we see and understand as common praxis.
