Come Out of The Dark USF A student organization dedicated to raise awareness of mental health and break its stigmas.

Come Out of the Dark is a graduate and undergraduate student organization born out of a grassroots campaign to begin a better, richer national conversation about depression. The organization will bring the purpose and values of this campaign to the USF and Tampa community by focusing on raising awareness about depression, encouraging science-based dialogue, and ending the terrible stigma surrounding the condition.

And with that, Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month has come to an end! But giving yourself grace shouldn’t 💛 For the rest of this academic year, remember that you are human; mistakes are inevitable and are best used as an opportunity to learn and see yourself grow, not end your story. If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay in the dark—various academic and mental health and wellness resources are available to you as an enrolled student (more info in the link in our bio), as well as online resources such as the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (988), Crisis Text Line (HOME to 741741), and warmline.org (peer-support line)

Remember that you matter and your life has value, all 365 days of the year! 💙💛
