How is your campus responding to the mental health needs of students?

Overview

With mental health issues and suicide rates on the rise on college campuses, most counseling centers don’t have the resources to meet the needs of their students.

Join us online to learn how Georgia Tech and the University of Alabama are mitigating this by training and engaging ALL staff to recognize when students need intervention and support. Both universities have adopted the Zero Suicide model – a framework used within healthcare to prevent and eliminate suicide. As the first expert to translate and implement this model into higher ed, Dr. Ruperto Perez will describe the model and give you advice on how you can design and implement a Zero Suicide Initiative on your campus.
