Abstract	The current study sought to investigate possible negative and positive predictors of hypothetically and actually engaging in mental health services for Latinx college students. Online surveys were collected from 145 Latinx students. These surveys assessed rankings of perceived barriers to engaging in mental health services. These barriers, along with facilitators of mental health service utilization (i.e., trauma, depressive symptoms) were then entered into a model as predictors of having engaged in mental health services. Results showed that cultural beliefs surrounding mental health was the most substantial perceived barrier to engaging in mental health services. However, perceived barriers did not predict actual history of therapy usage, whereas, experience of a traumatic event did. These results have implications for clinical practice with Latinx college students. (As Provided).
