> Subject: UWstaff-l: GateKeepers Training - Suicide prevention


> Gatekeepers Trainings are the first step in educating
> students, staff, and faculty on the importance of suicide awareness. The
> goal of the training is to promote help-seeking behaviors and reduce the  
> stigma
> of seeking care for mental and behavioral health problems. Each two hour
> training session will define warning signs and risks of suicide, define
> protective factors against suicide, and provide resources and skills to  
> make a
> referral to a professional. The trainings are open to all interested
> students, staff, faculty and community members.

> Suicide prevention is a priority for students, faculty
> and staff at the University of Wyoming. The State of Wyoming is ranked  
> number
> five for suicide deaths per capita. We know that most people who are  
> severely
> depressed or suicidal will not automatically seek out a professional  
> counselor.
> Gatekeeper training can provide a bridge to professional help and bring  
> suicide
> out of the silence.

> Consider attending the next GATEKEEPER training for suicide
> prevention. The next session will be February 16, 2010 at 9:30 am -11:30
> am. To register for the class please email [log in to unmask] and we will  
> reply that we
> have received your request.

> Upcoming trainings

> are:

> September 14,
> October 6,
> November 16,
