Because mental health concerns often first appear between the ages of 18 and 25, it’s our goal at CAPS to provide our campus with a wide range of suicide prevention and mental health resources.
One new way that we’ll be supporting that initiative is through a 30-minute online training program called SOS for Higher Ed where you'll 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
You may have completed the Kognito training in the past. This is a similar platform that is new and improved!
SOS for Higher Ed will NOT replace the QPR suicide training offered through the Department of Wellness Promotion.
How to Access the Course:
- Visit mindwise.digitalchalk.com and click “Create Account”
- Enter name, email address, and chosen password, click “Create”
- Enter the redemption code UNLV and click “Next”
- View the dashboard and select the SOS for Higher Ed course that fits your role (faculty/staff/student).
We encourage everyone to take 30 minutes to learn these lifesaving skills.
