What We're Doing & Why

Shifting the Culture Together

Mental health struggles are going to happen to many, if not all, of us at one point in our lives. For many people, college is that time. While there are exciting new experiences, discoveries, and changes in college, it can also be a time when students feel anxious, stressed, and hopeless. These challenges can contribute to depression and/or thoughts of suicide.  

We want to be a part of shifting the culture around mental health and suicide. That happens by:  

Suicide prevention on a college campus may feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to happen all at once. Each conversation you have, resource you learn about, or change you make to your classroom policies makes an impact. 

College Students & Suicide 

It doesn’t matter if the college is on the West Coast or East Coast, is private or public, has a large or small study body, has a religious affiliation, or is located in a rural or urban community, college students are struggling with suicide.

What We’re Doing 

From suicide prevention trainings and educational resources to counseling services and community outreach, Campus Health and CAPS are dedicated to suicide prevention. We want to empower you! Everyone can play a role in suicide prevention. This site is dedicated to showing all the different roles you can play. Knowing more about suicide, talking about it openly, and supporting mental health benefits us all. Explore this site and help us prevent suicide.
