COLORADO SPRINGS — Following last week’s tragedy where two people died in a shooting on campus, UCCS hosted a healing walk to show support to students who this tragedy may have impacted.
The walk will began at Roaring Fork Dining Hall and ended at the mountain lion statue in El Pomar Plaza located by the Kramer Family Library.
UCCS chancellor Jennifer Sobanet, student body members, and campus police are all gave remarks. For students and staff, walk-in counseling will also be provided on campus all day at the wellness center with no appointment needed.
Additionally, Diversus Health in Colorado Springs has 24-7 walk-in crisis services available for anyone experiencing an emotional crisis. They're located along South Parkside Drive near Memorial Park in the springs. They will not turn anyone away regardless of your ability to pay.
If you need immediate help, call Pikes Peak Suicide Prevention and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 9-8-8.
