092717 One year of S.A.F.E
The Suicide Awareness Focuses on Everyone (S.A.F.E.) program celebrated its first year of educating, raising awareness and reducing the stigmas related to suicide and mental health with a visual representation of the support that is offered at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
September is Suicide Awareness Month and to commemorate the end of the month, S.A.F.E. program’s participants wrote more than 1600 messages of love and hope on small pieces of paper which were linked across the campus in a chain that stretched from the University’s Anchor Statue beside the University Center and ended in the Dungan Health Center. This handcrafted chain was a visual representation of the support Island University students, faculty and staff have for Island University students struggling with anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.
