How “Katie’s Save” creates a crisis line for struggling college students | USA TODAY

Stanford athlete Katie Meyer died by suicide in early 2022. Her parents have started "Katie's Save," a program to create a crisis line for students.

The Meyers said they saw no red flags before Katie’s death. Gina Meyer said Katie had been to a therapist and added, "Every player was supposed to see a therapist because of COVID.''

Publicly, Gina and Steve Meyer have spent less time trying to understand Katie’s death than trying to prevent another tragedy. With that in mind, they wear “Katie’s Save’’ bracelets and have passed them out by the thousands, they say.

“Katie’s Save,’’ a nod to their daughter’s ability to stop shots on goal, is the name of the initiative the Meyers have created. It would allow college students the option to choose a designated advocate who would be notified “when the student is involved in challenging circumstances where they may need extra guidance and support.’’

Those situations could include physical injury, emotional or mental health problems, student conduct issues, substance abuse and academic probation. No specific information would be disclosed in the notification to the advocate without additional consent.
