The student body of Northeastern University is currently mourning yet another classmate lost to suicide. We are sad. We are tired. We are done with our administration refusing to change a toxic culture that negatively effects students' mental well-being. 

We *all* know that Northeastern and President Aoun could be doing more to increase access to mental health care. 85% of Northeastern students would be more inclined to seek out mental health care if it was more available on-campus - but students don't trust the university to provide high-quality care, so they instead suffer in silence. There is a mental health crisis in higher education. The time for change is now. 

As we head home for Winter Break, let's take this time to hold our university administration accountable. Share this petition far and wide with your friends and classmates.

More importantly, look out for your friends and classmates when they're in need. If you need to talk to someone about how you’re feeling, grieve the loss of a loved one to suicide, or learn how to help yourself and others in crisis, you can find support with Samaritans of Greater Boston: https://samaritanshope.org/
