Suicide Prevention Workshop (Knowledge Acquisition & Interpersonal Competence)

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students, and yet fewer than 20% of students who die by suicide are identified as past or current clients of their college/university counseling centers. This Suicide Prevention Workshop provides students with training to respond effectively to students in distress, notably students who may be suicidal, and to make appropriate referrals. This workshop is highly experiential and interactive, promoting frank dialogue about mental health, suicide, and the emotional intensity of helping students in distress. This workshop aims to better prepare you for the challenging and anxiety-provoking situation of helping students in crisis.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

· List three warning signs of suicide.
· Ask if a student is feeling suicidal.
· Recite the phone number for the UCC professional on-call.
