Preventing Suicide

#WSUWeSupportU began as a suicide prevention awareness campaign after counseling services were awarded the Garrett Lee Smith grant. We started with the Suspenders4Hope® awareness campaign and our eye-catching suspenders shirts expressing words of support that you can wear to show that you're a mental health advocate. Then, in 2018, we launched our own evidence based suicide prevention training which Shockers can now take for free where you can learn the Share, Ask, Support Method to help someone in need.
