#StopTheStigma - Full Version

So many of us are affected by suicide. Yet we struggle to talk about it as a community, and many of us struggle alone with suicidal thoughts. So we asked students on the Brickyard “What is your story? How have you been impacted by suicide?” We found out that students had powerful stories to tell, and that the silence is part of the problem. Many students have broken the silence with their stories of struggle and resilience, and here we feature three of them. We know that suicide can be scary to discuss. There are resources to support you. If you need help, reach out. For yourself or for someone you know.
