MindWise on Campus: Suicide Prevention for Students Course

MindWise on Campus is a 30-minute, self-guided online training that uses video and interactive learning to teach students how to ACT (Acknowledge, Care, Tell) if they’re worried about themselves or a friend.

Because mental health concerns often first appear between the ages of 18 and 25, it’s our goal to provide students access to the wide range of suicide prevention and mental health resources that are available to them during their time at [School Name].

The MindWise on Campus course uses real and diverse stories of mental health struggles and recovery to provide students with resources and actionable steps to support themselves and their peers. 

We encourage every student to take 30 minutes to learn:

  • How students can recognize signs of suicide risk in themselves or a friend
  • How to have a difficult conversation that encourages someone to seek help
  • How to build strong peer connections that foster positive mental well-being
  • An overview of available student mental health resources, on and off-campus
