TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 As the month of September sheds some light on the topic of suicide awareness, we asked students what they thought the signs of someone contemplating suicide might be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Well, someone might have a low mood or they might start giving their things away and generally withdraw from society,” said student Emily Stuart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would say crying, emotions everywhere, depression, not wanting to eat, things of that nature,” said Jakailah Clausell.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are some of the signs that Trojan Outreach<\/a> says to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just a change in behavior, becoming really irritable, really angry, or really sad. Any kind of intense emotion is something to look out for,” said Danielle Wormsby, Peer Educator at Trojan Outreach.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also asked students how they thought someone dealing with suicidal thoughts could get help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You just ask someone that you really value as a person and that you really look up to. Or you hold deeply in your heart, they will sit and talk to you,” said Camryn Stafford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I definitely think that reaching out to different resources on campus. Different resources, I mean off of campus too. I think it’s very important other people to know the signs and learn them. So that they can also be the resource to help,” said Maggie Scarbrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of resources in Troy for students to utilize who may be struggling with their mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are lots of mental health resources to take advantage of, some here on Troy University’s campus. The student counseling center<\/a> offers free counseling for students as long as they’re enrolled in at least one credit hour. Also, there’s East Central Mental Health<\/a> and few other mental health clinics in the area. They are very welcoming to Troy students and will work with them to help them get what they need,” Wormsby explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any students that need help please call Trojan Outreach at (334) 808-6806 or email trojanoutreach@troy.edu. The suicide hotline<\/a> number is also 988.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
