You can be a light and help prevent suicide. Stop by a booth to commemorate World Suicide Prevention Day 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10, outside Havener Center. The booth is hosted by student well-being staff and Delta Sigma Phi members.

You’re encouraged to take time to learn about available resources and how you can make a difference in the lives of those around you. Take the “Ask, Listen, Refer” training at asklistenrefer.org/mst to learn more ways to support someone experiencing thoughts of suicide.

Save the following numbers in your phone in case of a crisis:

• National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Press 1 for veterans.
• ACI Hotline for Phelps County, 888-237-4567

• National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
