Suicide Prevention Training for Students, Faculty, and Staff

Because mental health concerns often first appear between the ages of 18 and 25, it is our goal to provide you with a wide range of suicide prevention and mental health resources during your time at UNLV.

SOS for Higher Ed includes two 30-minute, self-guided online training courses for students, faculty, and staff. The trainings include video and interactive learning to teach everyone on campus how to ACT (Acknowledge, Care, Tell) in their role in suicide prevention.

SOS for Higher Ed uses real and diverse stories of mental health struggles and recovery along with modeled scenarios to provide all learners with actionable steps to help someone in need.

We encourage everyone in our campus community to take 30 minutes to learn:

  • How to recognize signs of suicide risk
  • How to have caring conversations that encourage someone to seek help
  • How to build community connections that foster positive mental well-being
  • An overview of available student mental health resources, on and off-campus
