Suicide Prevention at the University of Puget Sound
Concern about the possibility of suicide is understandable on any college campus. We know that suicide is the second-highest cause of death (following accidents) nationally for people in the college-age group. To continue the work of making Puget Sound as safe an environment as possible, we need suicide prevention to be everyone’s responsibility. None of us can see and hear all that goes on around us, so we all have to be alert to signs of distress in others.
On campus, we offer Loggers CARE, a suicide prevention gatekeeper training developed by the Logger Suicide Prevention Task Force.
To request the Loggers CARE workshop for yourself or your class/department/organization/club, please contact Danielle Bus, RN dbus@pugetsound.edu or fill out the online request form.
For more information, please refer to the campus suicide prevention plan. If you are looking for resources specific to faculty and staff, please go to Helping a Student.
