“Prevention is not only about crisis — it’s about resilience.”
Night-Shift Counselor
“In the early days of her career, Dr. Rola worked the night shift in an overcrowded psychiatric hospital. The urgency of suicidal thoughts and self-injury unfolded in front of her every night, shaping her understanding of the fragility of life and the critical need for compassion in crisis.”

Prison System Challenges
“Inside the prison system, she confronted the stark realities of suicide and homicide among the incarcerated. In one of the most isolating places imaginable — administrative segregation — she assessed prevention efforts and witnessed firsthand how hopelessness could consume lives.”
A Mission to Prevent Suicide
“Across each setting, Dr. Rola’s calling became clear: prevention is more than crisis response — it is about building resilience, restoring hope, and ensuring no one feels suicide is their only option. Today, her mission lives on through the campaign, ‘There Are Many Options Besides Suicide.’”

“There Are Many Options Besides Suicide”
This campaign is more than a message — it’s a movement. Through her initiative, ‘There Are Many Options Besides Suicide,’ Dr. Rola is working to replace silence and stigma with visibility and conversation. The campaign challenges the harmful misconception that suicide is the only path forward by reminding individuals that resilience, healing, and support are always possible.
By sharing her experience and insight, Dr. Rola invites communities to normalize discussions about mental health and suicide prevention. Each piece of campaign apparel and merchandise carries this message into the world, transforming everyday wear into an act of advocacy. Wearing the campaign means carrying hope — not just for yourself, but for someone else who may desperately need to see it.
