A Comprehensive Plan for Suicide Prevention

In accordance with these models, here are a few resources and ways that MSU contributes to mental wellness and works to promote suicide awareness and prevention.
Suicide Prevention Is...
Connection
Connecting with friends, family, activities, and hobbies is great for our mental health! Here are just a few ways to find a support network and activities at MSU:

| Fraternities and Sororities | Many find strong community, professional development, and community engagement through our fraternity and sorority chapters. |

| Veteran Support Center | The Travis W. Atkins Veteran Support Center offers connection and support for Veterans and those from military-affiliated families. |
| Native American Studies | AI/AN Student Success Services, American Indian Council, Talking Circle, the PowWow...all foster connection for our Indigenous students. |
