Communities provide cooperative environments in which individuals make a conscious effort to support one another. Boise State University, as a community, provides each of us with opportunities for connection. At times, this means we will experience the joy or the pain of another community member. In certain situations, when an individual is in distress, we may have a personal or professional opportunity to: reach out, lend support and/or make a referral. At Boise State, there are numerous internal networks available to help us address the specific needs and challenges of our fellow community members. The information and resources provided through the SOS network are tailored to assisting Boise State faculty, staff and students.

How you can help

You do not need to be a trained therapist to help a student who is struggling. At Boise State, all community members are needed to reach out and support our students who are facing academic and personal challenges. By becoming familiar with the SOS resources and information, you can help make a difference.
