September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and our OHS Psychology and Marketing departments came together to create a meaningful way for students to connect, encourage one another, and spread kindness. 💜🩵
Students have been filling our walls with words of encouragement, reasons they matter, and the small things that bring them happiness. The message is simple but important: you matter, you are valued, and you are not alone.
If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
