UNM Suicide Awareness WeekPresenting Seven Days of Events for The University of New Mexico Community
Mental health conditions impact millions of Americans' lives daily. Friends and family members are left to navigate an often confusing and complex issue. But there is hope. Suicide is largely preventable. Many effective programs, services and strategies exist and help is available.
While we continue to persevere amidst an unprecedented health crisis, we can, as one UNM community, take this opportunity to come together to improve our understanding of mental health.
The UNM HSC Well-Being Coalition is proud to bring you a week of activities focused on suicide awareness and prevention. This annual campaign aims to educate and inform our community about the warning signs and prevention of suicide. It also strives to reduce the stigma surrounding suicide and encourages the pursuit of mental health assistance, because going to therapy should be as normalized as going to the gym.
