Talley Center Offers Events for Suicide Prevention Month
Join the Talley Center for Counseling Services this September for a series of events focused on building connection, increasing awareness, finding support and strengthening resilience.
Throughout the month, our programming will highlight the themes of belonging, help-seeking, hope and resilience—each of which plays an important role in suicide prevention. Building a sense of belonging and connection can help students feel supported and remind them that they are not alone. Learning how and when to seek help connects students with resources and people who can provide support during difficult times. Fostering hope can help students recognize that challenging circumstances can change, while building resilience provides healthy strategies for navigating stress, setbacks and adversity.
