Getting Support: College Students
One of the single largest factors for a person considering suicide is lack of connection to other people.
Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed to ask or look for help. Adults of all ages have problems they can not solve on their own. Finding the courage to get help is often the first step toward solving your problems.
Learn to cope. Learn to be connected. There are individuals and groups within your school and community available to assist with this process.
When struggling with problems it helps to:
- Tell someone you trust
- Be around people who are caring and positive
- Ask someone to help you look at your options
- Work with a counselor
- Work with a trusted friend or adult
