Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in the college student population. Many entities on campus have created spaces where students can feel safe to express if they are struggling. Breaking the stigmas around mental health and suicide are vital in providing the support and resources individuals need. Our guests from the Counseling Center and McKinley Mental Health share the importance of this topic, resources and ways others can help a friend in distress. Tune in today!
