Suicide Prevention at ASU

Make a connection. Help save a life.

ASU works with our campus communities to support and advance mental health promotion and suicide prevention strategies. We aim to create an equitable, safe, and health-supporting campus where all students can thrive.

Suicide Prevention Month 2025

Connection brings hope and prevents suicide. September is Suicide Prevention Month, and we can make the biggest difference by building communities of care. Whether checking in on a friend, student, or colleague, learning the warning signs, knowing how to get help, and simply being present for each other, our actions can be lifesaving.
