    Rowan University to offer free mental health crisis support services for students

    GLASSBORO, New Jersey (WABC) — New Jersey’s Rowan University is adding free mental health crisis support services this fall for students.

    Experienced counselors will be available 24 hours a day on a telehealth program.

    Rowan reports four student suicides since 2017 – all from a parking garage near campus.

    Back in 2021, students rallied for better support services.

    If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide – free, confidential help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call or text the national lifeline at 988.

    Find support for issues with mental health, drugs, or alcohol through the Substance Abuse and Mental Services Administration, a part of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
