About:
We are all gatekeepers. Any of us could come into contact with someone in crisis; most of us have. Would you/did you know what to do to help them? Using Campus Connect, state-of-the-art training which addresses more than just statistics and facts about suicide, PSC faculty and staff will help prepare you as a gatekeeper. Through the use of experiential exercises and frank discussion about gatekeepers’ own fears, Campus Connect prepares gatekeepers for the anxiety-provoking situation of interacting with a suicidal student and allows gatekeepers to overcome the obstacles that often leave a student in crisis feeling misunderstood, judged, invalidated, and dismissed. Through connection, Campus Connect gatekeepers can assuage the feelings of isolation of a suicidal student and allow the student to more fully benefit from referral and connection to professional resources.
