NITEO: A qualitative study of a supported education program for students experiencing disruptions to their college education because of a mental health condition.

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal, Vol 48(2), Jun 2025, 106-114; doi:10.1037/prj0000642

Objective: The rates and severity of mental health conditions among young adults are troublesome. Mental health conditions among college students impact educational attainment, future employment and earnings, as well as quality of life. Our objective was to assess students’ experience and perceptions of the core components of NITEO, a college reentry program designed to assist young adults who have dropped out of or taken a leave of absence from college. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study of the core components of NITEO, employing an applied interpretive approach and conducting semistructured interviews with 31 former NITEO students. Data were examined using thematic analysis. Results: Analyses revealed four themes: (a) NITEO catalyzes personal growth and connection, (b) coaching builds skills and promotes accountability, (c) peer mentors are supportive role models, and (d) other students in the program impact the program experience. These findings suggest that the different components of NITEO foster skills and resilience while providing a supportive community. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: Our study illuminates the potential of programs such as NITEO to facilitate recovery and return to college for students on leave or who have dropped out due to mental health conditions.
