In 2023, the UNM Suicide Awareness Program will undergo some changes. This year, rather than a week packed with activities, programming is scheduled throughout the month of September. From presentations virtually to in-person activities and a commemorative walk on North Campus Golf Course, the month will have a lot to engage in.
The annual campaign is offered to educate and inform our community about suicide prevention and the warning signs of suicide. It also aims to reduce the stigma surrounding suicide and encourage the pursuit of mental health assistance because going to therapy should be as normalized as going to the gym. The month of activities is for those who are remembering someone who has died by suicide or for individuals who wish to support the community of loss survivors.
The UNM Suicide Awareness Walk will take place on Thursday, September 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the north campus LoboTrails and donate to the Transgender Resource Center to help further their work in helping support transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming communities through direct services, education, and advocacy.
