Why This Topic Matters
With the growing mental health concerns on today’s campuses, students’ well-being has become more of a campus-wide initiative. Yet, too few faculty and staff have specific or adequate training in how to help those at risk of suicide.
Who Should Attend?
This program is ideal for college faculty, staff and peer leaders, including:
Faculty and Instructors
Academic Deans, Provosts and Vice Presidents who oversee Student Success, Student Affairs and Academic Affairs
Academic Advisors
Career Counselors
Student Success Professionals
Peer Leaders: Mentors/Advisors/Counselors
TRIO, Student Support Services
Overview
Universities across the country have experienced a significant increase in the demand for mental health services. The acuity of mental health concerns has increased and the responsibility for students’ well-being has increasingly become more of a campus-wide initiative.
This workshop* will explore various myths around suicide, some warning signs, and ways to approach a student who might be suicidal. In the clinical field experts report the more confident a clinician can feel working with a suicidal client, the more confident they will feel working with ANY client. College staff and faculty can gain the same benefits working with college students. Join the facilitator on a journey to increase your confidence. In this interactive webinar you will explore:
Thomas Joiner’s Interpersonal Theory of Suicidal Behavior
Myths about “Psych-Ache”
Warning signs
Conversation starters with your student
Questions to ask your student
Encouraging statements
Do’s
And…Don’t’s
When to Refer

*Disclaimer: The facilitator is QPR trained/certified and the intervention method that will be discussed is similar to QPR. However, QPR requires longer training and is very specific. This training is not considered QPR training. If you would like that level of training, please check out the QPR Institute.
