Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
Hey, guys!
Did you know that September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month? In honor of this, the LGBT Center is sponsoring a Suicide Prevention Training on September 27th. It starts at 5:30 p.m. and will be held in Table Rock Room 201B in the Student Union. As future educators and members of a close-knit community, it is important that we can recognize the warning signs of severe depression and the steps of suicide prevention.
Hope to see you guys there!
With love,
Diversity Committee
