Suicide Prevention
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students with more than 1,000 students committing suicide each year on a college campus. Additionally, according to a recent study from the Centers for Disease Control and Infection, U.S. adults reported considerably elevated adverse mental health conditions associated with COVID-19--with younger adults reported having experienced disproportionately worse mental health outcomes, increased substance use, and elevated suicidal ideation.
Below is a helpful newsletter and brochure for students, faculty, and staff to use as a guide for suicide prevention. Please do not hesitate to talk to us whenever you need someone to listen. Please contact us so that we can be of help.
