UNLV is addressing the serious and pressing issues surrounding mental health, providing essential tools for support and intervention. Through the NSHE Mental Health Grant, the university was awarded $430,000 from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to provide no-cost, virtual and on-campus suicide prevention training opportunities to all UNLV students, faculty, and staff.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7. Call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org.

Students can also seek help through Crisis Resources from Student Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), and staff can seek help with Employee Assistance Program (EAP) resources.
