Suicide Prevention Awareness

 

Did you know next week is Suicide Prevention Awareness Week? 


During the month of September, Student Health & Counseling (SHCC) will be dedicating our social media efforts toward raising awareness around suicide and suicide prevention.  If you or someone you know is struggling, you can reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255 (TALK)

 

In these times of pandemic, some of the signs that someone is struggling may look different. Have you noticed any of these in yourself or a friend?

 

1. No longer responding to calls and texts.

2. Changes in tone or language when talking, texting, or posting online.

3. Changes in the frequency and type of content shared online.

4. Changes in energy levels or appetite.

5. Increased use of drugs or alcohol.

 

If so, please reach out. We are here for you.

 

SHCC is your confidential resource on campus.  Call (907) 474-7043 to get connected with one of our professional counselors.
