Mental health doesn't discriminate...there is hope.
College should be a time of growth and discovery, but for many students, it's overshadowed by a looming mental health crisis. In this eye-opening episode of Wellness Action Recovery, host Fonda Bryant tackles the often-overlooked issue of mental health and suicide on college campuses. With over 1,400 students losing their lives to suicide each year, and it being the second leading cause of death for young people aged 10-34, the urgency of this discussion cannot be overstated.
Fonda draws from her own experiences with mental health struggles to provide practical advice for students and their families. She delves into the importance of early detection, the role of QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training in suicide prevention, and how to foster an environment where mental well-being is prioritized. This episode isn't just about statistics; it's about real stories and actionable steps that can make a difference.
The conversation also touches on the harmful effects of stigmatizing language and the need for honest dialogue about mental health. Fonda's empathetic approach encourages listeners to see mental health as a universal issue that doesn't discriminate. Her message is clear: through education and compassion, we can create a safer, more supportive environment for college students. Whether you're a student, parent, or educator, this episode offers valuable insights and resources to help navigate these challenging times.
Tune in to hear Fonda's heartfelt advice and learn how you can contribute to a culture of care and understanding on college campuses.
