Senior Program Manager, Well-being and Health Coaching
Mental health issues continue to surge on college campuses throughout the U.S., and suicide continues to be a leading cause of death among college-aged individuals. These facts, combined with the ongoing traumas experienced worldwide and on college campuses, highlight the need for proper pre- and postvention crisis planning at higher education institutions.
Crisis planning and prevention, such as providing training to staff and promoting the mental health resources that are available to students, are essential in supporting student well-being. But, postvention strategies with proper resources available to students are just as essential to supporting students when suicide impacts your campus community.
