Kennesaw State University (KSU) has launched the "You Matter" suicide prevention and mental health program, aimed at reducing the stigma around mental health issues among college students. The program includes events and signage encouraging discussion of mental health, teaching students to recognize signs of suicide, and directing them to resources. KSU also plans to engage peer counselors who can provide relatable support. This initiative aims to create a campus culture where students feel comfortable seeking help. It was launched during National Suicide Prevention Month and seeks to address the isolation many students felt during the pandemic. Students in crisis can reach out to various support lines and resources provided by KSU.
