Students who feel depressed or suicidal can schedule an appointment with IU’s Counseling and Psychological Services at the Health Center, 600 N. Jordan Ave., said CAPS Director Nancy Stockton. CAPS also accepts walk-in appointments Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After hours, Stockton urged students to call their 24/7 hot line at 855-5711.

Stockton said students should “look after each other” and look for hints that their friends or roommates are depressed. If someone is sad, isolated or continues to turn down requests to do certain activities, they might be in need of help, Stockton said.
