For Mater Dei students, help is not just found in a counseling session, it is printed on the back of their ID, a reminder that support is always available within reach. Religious Studies Teacher Bystedt emphasized the importance of having the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline printed on student ID cards. “Having the number on the back of their card [makes it readily accessible], it's in their back pocket or around their neck. There is help,” Bystedt said. “Hopefully, the vast majority of students never have to think about it. But [if] somebody finds themselves in that place, they know there's a resource.” Photo illustration by Stella Pham.](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG_4158-819x1200.jpeg)
