College life can be exciting: making new friends, living away from home, taking great classes, and discovering who you are on your own and what you want to accomplish in life. But college life can sometimes be stressful. Every student experiences concerns and stressors during their college years. The good news is that colleges have resources to help during these times. Knowing what these resources are now can help you be better prepared to help yourself or to help a friend later.
Suicide prevention is an important initiative on college campuses across the country. It is important to know what to do if you, a friend, a family member, or a classmate is having a crisis or thoughts of suicide. If this happens, please don’t be afraid to ask for help. You do not have to go through this alone. This short video covers the warning signs that someone is in distress, what you can do to help, and the resources that are available on our campus.
