The Counseling Center needs your help. We continually seek innovative approaches to reaching students and know this cannot be done without faculty and staff support. Our goal is to increase awareness and support around suicide prevention. But we cannot do this alone. The Counseling Center understands we only reach a small percentage of students who struggle with emotional and mental issues. Students may not always have the inner resources to know how to get help.

The sad truth is that each year approximately 83 New York State college students die by suicide. This has a large impact on a campus community. Therefore we have a call to action.

We are trying to reach out to as many students as possible through our QPR suicide prevention program. We would like to partner with faculty to encourage students to attend this two-hour training. Faculty could offer students an incentive for their attendance. We would provide each professor with the names of the students who attended.

Counseling Center is offering this QPR training on several dates throughout the remaining spring semester.

Thursday, March 10, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in E. H. Butler Library
Tuesday, March 22, noon to 2:00 p.m. in the Counseling Center, Weigel Health Center 203
