According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among college students. Unfortunately, many college students don?t get the help they need because they don?t know that depression is a common yet treatable illness. The Counseling Center is showing the film, The Truth About Suicide: Real Stories of Depression in College, which will educate Towson University students, faculty, and staff about depression and about how members of the community can best seek help for themselves and/or friends who are depressed and/or suicidal. Additionally, the film will cover the warning signs of depression and ?other problems associated with suicide, as they are commonly experienced by college students and other young adults.?
Join us in exploring the growing problem of depression in college students. This program will be held twice, once on April 21, 2010, from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. and again on May 4, 2010 from 6:00 ? 7:00p.m. Each presentation will be held in Cook Library Room 411.
