Clinical Load Index

Developed by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH), with support from the International Association of Counseling Services, Inc. (IACS) and the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors (AUCCCD), the CLI represents a reliable, comparable, and intuitive distribution of staffing levels that can be used to inform decisions about the resourcing of mental health services in colleges and universities. Representing a carefully audited distribution of counseling center staffing levels, the CLI was initially established based on the 2017-2018 academic year, the CLI distribution was updated in 2020 based on data from 567 colleges and universities between July 1st, 2018 and June 30th, 2019.
