Suicide Prevention Training for College Staff and Faculty (Webinar)

December 7th, 2023 | 2:00 p.m. EST - 3:15 p.m. EST* | $395

Explore warning signs and strategies to approach a student who might be suicidal.

*Note: different starting time than most of our webinars.

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

  • Resources

*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.
