Suicide awareness training available from Counseling and Psychological Services
November 23, 2009
Counseling and Psychological Services is offering suicide awareness training for MSU faculty, staff members and students. Students in distress are often more likely to talk to friends, coworkers or professors than they are to seek professional help, according to Counseling and Psychological Services staff. This one-hour seminar is designed to increase awareness of suicide and discuss suicidal risk on the MSU campus. Participants will learn risk factors and warning signs for suicide and supportive ways to intervene and provide referrals to professional resources. This training is part of a state-wide plan to reduce Montana's suicide rate, and it is being launched campus-wide to help prevent suicide at MSU.
CPS staff is available to come to your office or group to present the seminar: All departments and offices on campus are encouraged to utilize this training. Contact Brian Kassar at 994-4531 or bkassar@montana.edu to learn more or schedule a seminar with your group.
