After taking courses in suicide prevention, hear why our future leaders study this important topic.
PhD student
“Schools offer a unique opportunity to engage adolescents in the suicide prevention continuum - from upstream, universal programs that provide education on signs of suicide risk and coping strategies, to primary prevention efforts such as connecting youth and their families to mental health treatment and support, I feel passionate about engaging in school based suicide prevention efforts.”
PhD student
“I study suicide prevention because rewriting the narrative around mental health starts with giving people the support to finish their stories.”
Undergraduate research fellow
“I’m driven by the space between what we know about suicide risk and what we can do to change it. I’m motivated by the potential to translate evidence into prevention across clinical care, communities, and public policy. I want to help build a stronger scientific foundation for interventions that reach people earlier and reduce the burden of suicide in society.”
