Otterbein University's Reach Out app provides guidance for supporting a friend in need, suicide prevention, or coping with mental health challenges. With the “My Support Network” function, users can create a customized collection of just those contacts they especially want to quickly access and reach out to by phone or text during difficult times. Reach Out also provides easy and centralized access to potentially life-saving resources and services offered on campus and in the community, including crisis hotlines. The Reach Out app is designed for students, parents, friends of students, faculty and staff of Otterbein University, located in Westerville, Ohio. The Hope & Help app better prepares people to help a friend, loved one or themselves.
