In commemoration of World Suicide Prevention Day, we recently had a table in the AST Rotunda with materials and wrist bands from TWLOHA (To Write Love On Her Arms) designed to promote emotional wellness and ward off suicidal impulses. We asked students to respond to this year’s theme, “Tomorrow Needs You”, by asking them about the unique contribution to society each one of them is destined to make. Students were asked to write out the reasons why “tomorrow needs” them on our rolling white board (see below).
