ECU Campus Suicide Prevention Grant Program

The purpose of the ECU Campus Suicide Prevention Grant Program is to facilitate a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention on the ECU campus. This program will increase collaboration of campus partners in the area of suicide prevention, increase suicide prevention and intervention trainings on campus and with local partners, increase the number of materials provided on campus related to suicide prevention, decrease stigma around mental health and help seeking, and increase promotion of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The program will also serve as a connection resource to better link students and families with mental health or behavioral health issues to appropriate services.

ECU Campus Suicide Prevention Training & Activities

A major effort of this program is the provision of Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper trainings. Two options are available: Talk Saves Lives and QPR. Talk Saves Lives is a community-based presentation that covers the general scope of suicide, the research on prevention, and what people can do to fight suicide. QPR teaches individuals three simple steps (question, persuade, refer) that can help save a life from suicide. Anyone is welcome to attend and these trainings are appropriate for any adult. Training will last approximately 1-1.5 hours and each attendee will receive a certificate of completion. Contact us to schedule a training! Virtual training is also available for QPR. Click here for more details.
