Especially in the wake of the pandemic, experts are working to address a mental health crisis in our community and beyond. Among other things, we’ve seen a troubling increase in suicides and suicide attempts – but on campus, there’s a new push to fight back against that trend.
If you or someone you know are thinking about suicide, you can call the national Suicide and Crisis Lifeline any time: dial 988 or visit 988Lifeline.org.
