September is National Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month.
At Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing, we believe caring for others begins with seeing the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
As nurses and future nurses, we have the opportunity to listen without judgment, recognize when someone may be struggling, offer support, and remind others that they are never alone.
A simple “How are you really doing?” can open the door to a conversation that matters. Check in. Listen. Be present. Encourage someone to seek help when they need it. And remember to care for yourself, too.
The mental health crisis is real, and it is worth advocating for. That is why we are committed to supporting our students through available mental health resources, including access to a licensed counselor.
You are important. Your mental health matters. Your life matters.
Today and every day, let’s create a community where asking for help is met with compassion, understanding, and support.🩺🤍🩵💜
