As part of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, the University of Connecticut’s Student Health and Wellness is participating in the “Field of Memories,” a meaningful initiative that displays hundreds of flags across campus lawns to honor and remember college and university students who have died by suicide.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), nearly 1,100 college students die by suicide each year, making it the second-leading cause of death among college students in the United States. The “Field of Memories” initiative serves as a visual representation of the individuals whose lives have been impacted by suicide, with hundreds of flags placed across the campus lawn. The event not only raises awareness about suicide prevention, but also honors and recognizes students who have been affected in some way.
All week long, participating students and faculty are encouraged to share their own personal messages of remembrance, hope, or support on the flags as a way to communicate nonverbally that support is available on campus and that no one has to face their struggles alone. 💙
If anyone believes someone they know is in distress of any kind, they are encouraged to speak with a member of the Counseling and Mental Health Services staff or call 860-486-4700. Additionally, UConn students can contact the free and confidential support line, BeWell, at 833-308-3040.
