When Tragedy Strikes

I am always hesitant to provide any publicity to the perpetrator(s) when a shooting (or other major act of violence) takes place on a college campus. That being said, I know that, while school shootings are extremely rare, they do cause worry for both parents and students.

If you or someone you know has been affected by a tragedy, there are many ways you can support them. Additionally, there are resources you yourself can tap into during difficult times:

• How to Support a Friend in Need
• How to Recognize the Symptoms of Depression
• National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255
