Suicide Awareness, Prevention and Postvention

As faculty and staff members, we spend a great deal of time with students, and we are often in a position where they share personal problems and concerns. Because of this, we’re all able to identify and respond to suicidal behavior among our students. This module is designed to help faculty describe warning signs of suicide and potential risk factors, explain intervention strategies that can change the outcome for students exhibiting warning signs and identify healthy postvention practices to implement if a student does die by suicide.
