Abstract: The aim of this project was to explore the experiences of bereaved college students not connected to counseling services, including: 1) Describing the age-salient behaviors, cognitions, and emotions that bereaved college students who are not utilizing counseling services associate with resilience and non-resilience. 2) Identifying barriers to or reasons for a lack of engagement with formalized campus counseling services. 3) Exploring the experience of bereavement in the undergraduate student population.
