Meanwhile, the Faculty of Health and the Floridablanca Campus are joining this initiative with various strategies and activities aimed at the university community.
“As part of this month’s activities, we have developed an institutional strategy called Yellow Pills, in connection with World Suicide Prevention Day. These materials are intended to provide recommendations and tools for self-care, emotional management, strengthening relationships, identifying personal resources, and building reasons to keep moving forward,” said Belkys Acuña, UIS Floridablanca Campus Student Counselor.
UIS reaffirms its commitment to the well-being of its university community and to creating environments where care, active listening, and support contribute to strengthening a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
