September is Su***de Prevention Month β a time of healing, hope, and connection. This year, we stand together with the global community under the theme βChanging the Narrative on Su***de.β Itβs about shifting from silence and shame to openness, compassion, and empathy.
In our college community, let us speak with genuine care, act with understanding, and listen without judgment. βHindi ka nag-iisa.β Whether through a sincere question or a quiet moment of presence, you may be the hope someone needs to keep going.
Together, we can:
π Challenge harmful myths and stigma around mental health.
π Encourage open and heartfelt conversationsβeven small steps matter.
π Transform our culture into one where every life is valued and supported.
This journey begins with each of us. If you're struggling, please remember: the CAS Guidance Office is here for youβready to listen, walk with you, and help you find support.
Letβs be part of changing the narrative in our own community. Letβs be voices of empathy, understanding, and hope. π
