Where to seek help<\/b><\/p>\n

On campus:<\/em><\/p>\n

For direct assistance from the\u00a0University Counseling Center<\/b>, students can call 585-275-3113, 24 hours, 7 days a week. A UCC professional is on-call off hours.<\/p>\n

Students may also call the\u00a0Life Line<\/b>\u00a0at (585) 275-5151.<\/p>\n

Detailed information is available on the UCC website at\u00a0www.rochester.edu\/ucc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To reach the\u00a0CARE Network<\/b>, visit\u00a0www.rochester.edu\/care<\/a>, and the Resource Center, available on the UR Mobile app.<\/p>\n

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Suicide is the second leading ca<\/a>use of death among college students<\/a>, according to the American Association of Suicidology. The AAS further reports that approximately one-third of college students have seriously considered suicide.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to these grim statistics, the University of Rochester community is marking National Suicide Prevention Week with a range of efforts to increase awareness of suicidal behavior, the importance of prevention, and the resources available to students.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>University Counseling Center<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>CARE Network<\/span><\/a> are two principal sources of help and support for students in distress. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>University Counseling Center<\/span><\/a> offers multiple kinds of therapy, programming, and workshops.<\/span><\/p>\n

“A treatment plan is developed by the clinician that addresses the client’s unique needs and concerns,” explains UCC director Joellen Popma . “This plan may include recommendations such as group therapy, workshops, brief therapy, referrals to a community provider for specialized treatment or longer term therapy services, Therapist Assisted On-line (TAO), case management services, psychiatry or other campus services.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Often, however, students suffering from depression or other mental health concerns may not seek help themselves. It might take someone else to intervene on their behalf. <\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>CARE Network<\/span><\/a> offers a means for any member of the University community to submit a \u201cCARE report\u201d about a fellow community member\u2014or even about themselves. The CARE Network then reaches out to the student to help connect them to sources of help. <\/span><\/p>\n

Heidi Saller, associate director of the network, emphasizes that the CARE Network responds to any type of problem. When students are in distress about college adjustment, discrimination, the health of a peer, or any other concern in their life, the CARE network helps to find the support they need.<\/span><\/p>\n

“No problem is ever too small,” she says. “If a student needs to get connected, or someone they know needs to get connected, they can submit their concerns to us.”<\/span><\/p>\n

While students may sometimes hesitate to refer themselves or a peer to the CARE Network, Saller urges students to be proactive in sustaining the well-being of University community members.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe CARE Network is an opportunity for the UR community to be accountable for maintaining a safe, connected, and inclusive environment. We also help bring multiple campus partners together to ensure students have the best chance at being successful, both academically and socially.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
