The rates of mental illness and suicidal ideation continue to increase among college students. As such, TimelyMD has created a helpful white paper for colleges and universities to use as a reference for postvention, how suicide impacts the student population, how postvention helps the campus community, and the importance of having a virtual health and well-being platform for students to use 24/7.
"Higher education leaders need to be prepared with a solution that meets students where they are at, this means multiple formats for which students can engage in their mental health - in person, virtual, self-guided journeys - and be prepared for 365/24/7 access because you never know when a student is going to get up the courage to reach out - so care needs to be available when that happens."
