Campuses should conduct an annual environmental scan to inspect buildings and facilities, identify potential access to dangerous means, and take action to remove or reduce these risks.<\/p><p>Additionally, this model uses an engagement process anchored in strategic planning and equitable implementation. Thoughtful decisions are made for prioritizing and selecting specific planning tactics that address the needs of each specific campus. And, equitable implementation incorporates equity and inclusion into implementation practice to ensure the needs of students of color and underserved groups are being addressed at all stages of the approach on college campuses.<\/p><p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/nam.edu\/a-comprehensive-approach-to-mental-health-promotion-and-suicide-prevention-for-colleges-and-universities-insights-from-the-jed-campus-program\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">National Academy of Medicine<\/a>]<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-506f3ae elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"506f3ae\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-92dcdd6 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"92dcdd6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9851559 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9851559\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"suicide-prevention-advocacy-and-virtual-care\"><\/span>Suicide prevention advocacy and virtual care<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Effective suicide prevention is comprehensive. It requires a combination of efforts that work together to address different aspects of the problem and, as part of communication efforts, raise awareness of suicide prevention in virtual places where students connect.<\/p>\n<p>A recent survey published by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/2022\/05\/17\/seven-professor-actions-contribute-student-well-being-infographic\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">Inside Higher Ed<\/a>&nbsp;found that 24% of students don\u2019t know where to seek help on campus if they\u2019re struggling with mental health. When asked to grade their college on its mental health services, 30% of students said they did not know enough about the mental health services to even assign a grade. This lays plain the fact that colleges and universities can and must do more to educate students on the resources available to them to support mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Consider ways to share suicide prevention messages and mental health resources in your college or university\u2019s social media, mail communication, and online student portals. Make sure students know about the 24\/7 support and virtual health care options available to them. Crisis situations can occur any time of day, meaning that in-the-moment care is a critical component to suicide prevention. Raise awareness of where students can turn if they feel like they need support when it\u2019s outside the business hours for campus health care.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/blog\/what-is-a-mental-health-peer-to-peer-program\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">Peer-to-peer support<\/a>&nbsp;is another way to create onramps to mental health support and reduce the stigma of seeking care as part of a suicide prevention program.
