Unfortunately, by the time you have finished reading this blog someone will have died by suicide in America. This blog is a community/public health project designed to bring awareness to college students about the risk of college student communities for suicide and how to get help. We wanted to create a place that would enable understanding and provide resources if you or someone you know may be experiencing a mental health crisis and/or considering suicide.
