Attempted Suicide

YOUR LIFE MATTERS.
This is your journey of healing and we want to help you.

Things you can do to support your recovery:

  1.  Be kind to yourself. You have just survived a life-threatening health crisis and you deserve to take the time you need.
  2. Take care of your health. Exercising, eating right, getting enough sleep and spending time with healthy people can have a huge impact on your health and mood.
  3. Find a mental health professional.   UVU campus has many counselors who are available to help and to talk to. They can also help you develop a safety plan and find ways to address life stressors.
  4. Try a support group. There are different kinds of support groups, including those for depression and other mental health conditions and for those who have survived a suicide attempt.  A group can help you know you are not alone.
  5. Talk to those you trust. When you’re ready, let them know what happened and that you want them to help you stay safe.
  6. Join our Suicide Prevention community on UVU campus. You will be connected to people who understand the complexity of suicide and want to help prevent it.
