IMALIVE

After losing his wife, Kristin Brooks Rossell, to suicide on April 7th, 1998, Reese founded the Kristin Brooks Hope Center and the National Hopeline Network 1.800.SUICIDE. In the last 25 years, more than 20 million callers to 1-800-SUICIDE have been routed to help and hope.

IMALIVE MENTAL HEALTH FAIR is a fun, interactive & educational program that brings awareness to mental health and suicide prevention on college campus. Since 2010, over 250 events have been held on college and university campuses across North America. Many leading Directors of Student Life and Counseling Services endorse IMALIVE because of the consistently positive outcomes, which educate young adults on recognizing warning signs, spark conversations about mental health and suicide prevention, and raise awareness.

Tailoring the program to each unique venue results in higher student attendance, positivity, and a greater sense of belonging and connection between students, staff, the Student Life office team, the Counseling Services, and the Health and Wellness Office teams.
