97% of Pikes say they would support a brother seeking mental health assistance. There are many reasons why people experience anxiety, hopelessness, or other distress. Whatever the reason, getting help sooner rather than later can help prevent more serious problems down the road.
Remember that you are not a mental health professional, so we recommend seeking guidance and support, whether it is you or someone else who is experiencing distress. Starting with your campus counseling services is always a good idea. Most campuses offer students counseling services for little or no cost. You can search for “counseling center” on your campus website or call the health center and ask how to get in touch with counseling services. Counseling services often include consultation support as well for members who are seeking guidance on how to help someone else.
