Today, on National Su***de Prevention Day, we want to continue to offer our deepest condolences to all victims of Mental Illness and our endless support to those continuing to fight their daily battles. Never be afraid to reach out for help, there is always another route to happiness and su***de is the only permanent consequence. We will continue to fundraise and lobby for psychological counseling for everyone, regardless of their income, and foster a culture of awareness and intervention.

Specifically, we’d like to take a moment to remember our late brother Nic “Tex” Smith, who’s spirit remains strong from Plano to Indiana, and has kickstarted a movement greater than any individual. His little brother Stuart Smith said “As Nic’s little brother, I really want to say some words on National Su***de Prevention day. From losing my big brother to su***de, the thing I want most is for people to reach out to friends and family, even those who seem the strongest hearted, checking on them and making sure everything is okay. Talking about su***de and preventing it isn’t something to be ashamed of. Never be scared to reach out, it only helps. ”

Attached are just a few of the many routes you or your loved ones can take to receive immediate help. We also encourage all students to utilize their free counseling sessions offered at their university health center. Financial support is often available where needed, and reaching out to a friend is always free.

We are always taking donations to benefit both the National Alliance for Mental Illness and Indiana University’s CAPS. Thank you again to all those who have contributed, and more support can be given below through our link

Stay safe and stay alert, reach out to a loved one today. Thank you all for reading ❤️

With the recent, tragic deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, mental health is yet again on the forefront of the news. At Sigma Pi @ IU we are raising funds for CAPS and NAMI as well as starting a conversation on mental health. By supporting CAPS, we are creating an immediate impact on the local IUB community as well as the larger cause through our contributions to NAMI.

One of the most commonly asked questions after tragedies like these is quite simply: Why? It is often difficult, if not impossible, for the public to understand how people who were in the spotlight, had fame, wealth, influence and love, could take their own lives. It is no simple question, and there is no clear cut answer.

Let’s make it a point to start this conversation with our loved ones and check in on our friends regularly, regardless of their apparent level of happiness. Together we can surrounding . Any method of help is appreciated, whether it is having conversations around the issue or making a financial contribution @ https://my.crowdchange.co/5ztk6s

Live the life you love, and love the life you live.
