Posted by Staff on Sunday, September 4, 2022

Resources and events from Ohio Northern University

The statistics are too stark to be ignored: suicide is the third leading cause of death for college-age students in the United States. In 2021, 43.4% of 18 to 29-year-olds experienced symptoms of depression compared to 21% in 2017. That same year, a total of 48.5 percent screened for anxiety compared to 11% in 2019.

With these sobering numbers in mind, and with National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Week to be recognized from Sept. 6-9, Ohio Northern University has planned campus activities and is emphasizing its year-round Northern-centric resources to help mitigate this epidemic.
