24,000 students admit to making a suicide attempt each year3

Suicide claims the lives of 1,100 students each year, while 24,000 make an attempt. The significant transition of moving away from home, new social dynamics and increased academic pressures, coupled with early childhood experiences and trauma, can significantly impact a student’s mental health.

Working alongside your campus clinic, Vita Health quickly connects students to outpatient life saving suicide care without the need for hospitalization.

Specialized in suicidality and experienced in a wide range of mental health challenges, our clinicians enable students to access tailored support, from home or campus, while continuing to engage in their studies.
