YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Welcome
Welcome
Here at UAF, we are committed to creating a culture of safety, support, wellness, and belongingness. We recognize that over 48,000 individuals die by suicide in the U.S. every year, with suicide deaths in Alaska ranking third-highest in the nation. This week, we encourage the UAF community to learn to de-stigmatize mental health concerns, engage in prevention awareness, discover campus support resources, and participate in education & conversations about offering hope.
