Suicide touches us all regardless of ability, age, gender identity, race, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, and more. This 2-hour experiential training aims to increase knowledge about statistics, risk and protective factors, warning signs, and campus resources concerning college student suicide. It will enable participants to demonstrate kindness and empathy towards others, helping them to respond caringly and effectively to those experiencing a wide range of emotional crises.
