Helping Improve the Mental Health of College Students
Navigating the pressures and stressors of college life can be difficult. Our free college suicide prevention workshops are designed to foster open dialogues about mental health and suicide prevention for students, faculty, and administration. Reach out today to schedule an in person or virtual workshop for your college or university.
Workshops for College Students
Our suicide prevention workshops for college students address the emotional challenges that can arise during the college experience. Small, interactive workshops give young adults a safe forum for conversation. Topics include dispelling myths about mental health, exploring prevention strategies, practicing self-care and coping mechanisms, and knowing what to do when they or a friend needs help.
Workshops for Faculty & Staff
Our suicide prevention workshops for college staff provide tools and resources to effectively respond to a student in distress. Staff will learn how to recognize risk factors and warning signs of suicide, and identify basic steps for getting students help. These workshops are best for educators, administrators, guidance counselors, nurses, and other staff.

“The students all spoke about how they learned a lot from your workshop, and several of them have been seeking counseling now as a result.”
