Mental Health Is Health
Everyone will struggle with their mental health at some point. Just as you need to take steps to keep your body healthy, the same is true for maintaining your mental health.

“I’ve noticed that you haven’t been returning my messages lately. I am concerned about you.”

Building a Community of Support
If you are concerned about someone around you, just remember to
Share, Ask, Support.

Share your concern with them by reaching out, whether that be in person, calling or messaging. Hearing you care is often the first step in sharing hope.

Ask directly about how they’re feeling, including if they’re struggling with thoughts of suicide. Asking cannot put the idea of suicide into someone’s head and again shows that someone cares.

After asking, listen non-judgmentally. Help find resources available in your area, then offer to connect them to necessary services. Continue to support by checking back in.

About #WeSupportU
#WeSupportU started at Wichita State University in 2015 when WSU counseling services was awarded the SAMHSA Garrett Lee Smith Campus Suicide Prevention grant in order to develop a local suicide prevention program. From that grant, was born the #WeSupportU Suspenders4Hope campaign and Preventing Suicide Training, which was WSU’s promise to support their students’ mental well-being. Now, you can help support your community or organization with the #WeSupportU Suspenders4Hope comprehensive prevention approach. We continue to be affiliated with the University and as a non-profit, we are committed to developing quality, engaging, evidence-based content at an affordable price for anyone interested in supporting community mental health and preventing suicide.
