This week Texas State University experienced another tragedy. As reported by the University Star, a student's body was found on campus due to an apparent suicide. Bobcat Update's Dallas Williams takes a look at the resources available to help students through difficult times.

College life can be overwhelming. School and relationships can leave some students feeling alone or forgotten. Melissa Garza is President of NAMI Cats, which is the local chapter of the National Alliance of Mental Illness. Garza says she wants students to take the right steps to protect their mental health.

One other resource is the counseling center. Due to high demand, the counselors were not available for formal comment, but they did stress that students come first. The center's website has helpful information. If you or someone you know is in a crisis follow these steps: Recognize the signs and respond. Take action or get others involved. Make a referral.
At Texas State the hustle and bustle of college life can get to students. Stress can be overwhelming and friendships can be taxing, but tragedies don't have to happen.
