The Center for Counseling and Student Development is hosting an exclusive suicide prevention training for University of Delaware faculty and staff on Tuesday, July 31. Back by popular demand, the Campus Connect Gatekeeper Training is scheduled for 12:30-3 p.m. in room 126 of Lerner Hall. The training is available at no cost to all faculty and staff; however, advance registration is requested.

Throughout this session, participants will learn to recognize various signs of student distress and signals of suicidality. Interactive sessions and case scenarios will enable attendees to familiarize with de-escalation techniques, and to build confidence in holding conversations with students about their concerns.

Online registration is open for this event until July 25. Any questions about the training may be directed to Michele Juarez-Huffaker at mjhuff@udel.edu or 302-831-2141.
