CONNECTION BEFORE CRISIS.
A student-led mental health organization creating more reasons for Jayhawks to know and show up for one another.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
MENTAL HEALTH DOESN’T START IN A COUNSELING OFFICE.
It starts in the places we already spend our lives. Classrooms. Apartments. The gym. Greek houses. Coffee shops. Game days. Late-night walks home.
Dear You creates more reasons for KU students to know and show up for one another throughout the year. When people feel connected on campus, checking in feels natural, making it easier to notice when someone goes quiet or isn’t themselves.
CURRENT ACTIVATION
CALL YOUR PEOPLE.
A reminder to reach out before there is a reason to worry. Call the person you have been meaning to call, ask the second question, and stay on the line a little longer.
FOLLOW THE STORY ON INSTAGRAMTRAINING PARTNER
TRAINED TO CONNECT.

SUPPORT AT KU
KNOW WHERE TO TURN.
Dear You leaders are not counselors, but we are here to listen, check in and help students find the right support. We’re trained to recognize when someone may need more help, start conversations and connect students with professional resources.
