World Su***de Prevention Day

· You don't need the perfect words.
· You don't need to be an expert.
· You just need to be willing to listen.
· Sometimes, starting the conversation is the most important step.

If you're worried about a friend, classmate, or someone you know, asking "Are you feeling suicidal?" won't put the idea in their head. It can open the door to an important conversation. Learn more about su***de awareness, support, and access free training designed specifically for university students.
