Crisis Help for Students

The teenage years are extremely challenging. It can be a confusing time of raging hormones, drama among friends, and difficult questions to face. Unfortunately, there is no perfect road map you can use to help you through this time. A crisis for you may be different than for another teen. Although it may feel as if you do not recognize yourself anymore, you are still the person you have always been. Do not let others tell you differently. If you are dealing with depression, considering suicide, having mental health issues, be abusing drugs or alcohol, or a combination of the above, please contact someone for help, including your parents, as soon as possible.

Here are some links:

  • Suicide Prevention Lifeline: (800) 273-8255. Call anytime if you’re feeling desperate, alone or hopeless. This number will route you to the crisis center nearest you.
