Suicide Prevention

同伴之间互相帮助是预防自杀的最佳策略之一. If you see the warning signs in your friend, do not ignore them. 陷入困境的学生更有可能在找专业人士之前先找朋友. As a student, 你的朋友可能会更直接地和你分享他们的感受. 

Campus Resources

The OU Counseling Center 为如何识别和处理问题学生提供了很好的资源.

• Consult a counselor at the OU Counseling Center at (248) 370-3465
• 咨询学生院长，电话:(248)370-3352(有关学生的问题)

如果你觉得一个人有伤害自己或他人的直接危险, please call OU police at (248) 370-3331.

How Can I Help?

Reach out to your friend. Express your concern. Be direct and honest. Encourage getting help without sitting in judgment, acting shocked or suggesting that you have all the answers. And – above all – be available and listen. 你可能不理解你的朋友正在经历什么，但你可以帮助他/她度过难关. Don’t be a counselor.

了解可用的资源，以便您可以为您的朋友提供选择. 要坚持下去——因为在精神健康问题上寻求专业帮助是一种耻辱, your friend may not be willing to seek the help that he/she needs. 如果他/她不愿意，主动打电话给他/她，或者主动提出第一次约会就来. It is often the first step that is the hardest.

Take Care of Yourself

帮助一个与心理健康问题作斗争的朋友是非常有压力的. 认识到自己的个人极限，了解自己保持健康的需要. Remember, you are not a mental health care provider; you are simply a supportive friend. It is not your responsibility to save someone; your only responsibility is to care and get the person to help. If you need help, don’t hesitate to get it!
