💜 September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. 💜
This month, and every month, we want our students and community members to remember that asking for help is a sign of strength. You matter, your life has value, and you do not have to face difficult moments alone.
If you or someone you know is struggling:
📞 Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
💬 Chat online at 988lifeline.org
❤️ Support is free, confidential, and available 24 hours a day throughout Missouri.
SEMO students can also contact the Center for Behavioral Health and Accessibility for free, confidential counseling:
📞 (573) 986-6191
📧 [email protected]
🕗 Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
Telehealth appointments are available.
For an immediate medical or safety emergency, call 911 or visit the nearest emergency room.
Please check on the people around you, listen without judgment, and remind them that help is available. Sometimes one conversation can make all the difference.
