- Provide other participation opportunities to help generate contributions.
- Move beyond seeing reluctant participators as a problem.
- Limit the participation of students who speak too often.
- Find something positive to say about a first-time contribution.

Student Success: Help Prevent Student Suicide, a workshop for UAA faculty
Friday, Oct. 19, 10:30-11:30 a.m.
UAA/APU Consortium Library, Room 304
Suicide is a serious concern among UAA students. Research shows 22 percent of students at UAA have experienced suicidal ideation or have attempted suicide at some point in their lives. Of these, six percent are considered at very high risk, reporting suicidal ideation or attempting suicide within the last 12 months. Among UAA faculty, 40 percent have had a student they were concerned was at risk for suicide, yet less than one-fourth report confidence in recognizing the warning signs of suicide.
UAA faculty members are uniquely positioned to make a difference in the lives of students in this area. Join us as staff from the Center for Behavioral Health Research and Services discuss verbal and behavioral clues associated with suicide risk among college students, offer ideas on how to encourage help-seeking and provide information about campus and community support services.
