Suicide Awareness & Prevention Among College Students
Recent research indicates one in 10 college students have seriously considered suicide in the last year, and suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students in the United States. Join us for a presentation by Patrick Lord, PsyD, and Calli Romero, BS, marking Suicide Awareness Week on the MSU campus. This presentation will review the importance of recognizing the warning signs of suicide among college age students, suggest safe intervention strategies, and provide information regarding resources to access. Dr. Lord is a Clinical Psychologist employed by Cox Health Psychological Services, and an adjunct faculty member of the MSU Psychology Department. Calli Romero is a Mental Health Counseling Graduate Student at MSU, and a Psychiatric Technician on the Child/Adolescent Inpatient Psychiatric Unit, working with Dr. Lord at Cox North. This event is sponsored by the Missouri State University Psychology Club.
