dc.description.abstract | Transition to university life can be stressful for
all students. In mitigation, most universities in K
enya offer social
support to students in form of counselling, financi
al assistance, health and academic support. Despite
this it has
been documented that only a minority of university
students who experience psychological distress seek
professional counselling (Khan and Williams, 2003,
Raunic and Xenos, 2008) a situation that is the sam
e in
Kenya. According to university counsellors, univers
ity students undergo tremendous stress from persona
l issues,
academic pressure, career emphasis and social probl
ems. Counselling is meant to provide linear paths f
or
students to address their problems. However, some s
tudents are reluctant to seek help from counsellors
. This
paper is a report on a study that sought to establi
sh the reasons why university students in Kenya do
not seek
counselling services. | en_US |
