Please take a moment to read an important message from the Dean of Students regarding finding support during emotionally difficult times.
Dear students,
During this time of year, many college students feel increased stress and symptoms of depression. Thoughts of suicide may also occur and it is important to be aware of all of the resources available to help you when you are in need. If you are having thoughts about suicide, it is likely that you feel hopeless, alone, and beyond help. It is really important to know that it all can get better and the pain can ease if you get help. If you give yourself a chance, and give it time, you can get to a place in your life and you will be able to figure out ways to cope with your problems.
If you’re feeling suicidal and are not sure if you can stay safe, please call 911, (423) 425-HELP (4357), or go to the emergency room at the nearest hospital in order to get help right away.
