Help Prevent Student Suicide: A Workshop for UAA Faculty
Suicide is a serious concern among UAA students. Research
shows 22% of students at UAA have experienced suicidal ideation or have
attempted suicide at some point in their lives. Of these, 6% are considered at
very high risk, reporting suicidal ideation or attempting suicide within the
last 12 months. Among UAA faculty, 40% have had a student they were concerned
was at risk for suicide, yet less than one fourth report confidence in
recognizing the warning signs of suicide.
UAA faculty members are uniquely positioned to make a difference
in the lives of students in this area.
Join us as staff from the Center for Behavioral Health Research and
Services discuss verbal and behavioral clues associated with suicide risk among
college students, offer ideas on how to encourage help-seeking, and provide
information about campus and community support services.
