Facts About Suicide
Suicide is a leading cause of death among college students and young adults. Suicide is, often times, preventable. Unquestionably you want your campus to be known for meeting your students' mental health issues and being dedicated to fostering the total well being of all students. Young people who consider suicide may not seek help directly, so it is important to be able to recognize signs that they may be at risk. Having a safe environment for students to share and implement alternatives to suicide is vital to their overall success as they represent their alma mater in their various fields. This is not a 'one-size-fits-all' experience, thus the alternatives to prevent suicide ideation need to be multifactorial.
