help. There are resources available on every
campus and in every community to help with
issues too big for our young people to handle
alone." Robbie's Hope instructs parents to
teach children to have a trusted adult, which
can come in the form of a coach, a teacher or
another adult and not necessarily you.
Kari encourages her Sigma Psi sisters to reach
out to one another. "Be real with one another
and be available." A true testament of sisterhood
was shown to Kari in her time of need. One
ΚΔ sister traveled more than seven hours to
attend Robbie's funeral, and another group of
sisters sent a beautiful arrangement of long-
stemmed white roses. "When I visited Fargo
for Thanksgiving, I saw several ΚΔs. They
listened just like we were at the ΚΔ house in
our pajamas in the kitchen. It felt good to be
supported by all my sisters. I gained power to
keep going from the many thank-you notes and
by offering advice based on my experience."
"Mental health may not seem to apply to you
or to your child, but this is far from the truth.
Visit our website, www.robbies-hope.com,
that is packed with information and provides
resources to teens and adults. Mental illness is
treatable, and the stigma around it needs to be
removed. Suicide is the number one killer of
teens in Colorado and many states and is the
most preventable death."
Robbie's Hope released a handbook this fall
written by teens for adults on how they want
to talk about mental health. "We will mail
copies of these handbooks to anyone who
wants them. These conversations could save a
life." Reach out to Kari for more information
