Purpose: To conduct an initial needs assessment of physical and mental health behavior among college students to improve understanding of physical and mental health needs among future helping professionals. Method: A sample of 24 undergraduate students was used to provide a description of mental health, physical activity, and healthy eating behaviors, along with interest in health promotion activities, during a 15-week course focused on promotion of physical and mental health. Results: Findings indicate current reports of depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms, along with interest in strategies to decrease stress, increase physical activity, and improve eating habits. Conclusion: College curriculum must address physical and mental health needs to allow students to guard against future problems and adequately prepare for careers in helping professions.
