Recognize, Respond, Refer

Recognize, Respond, Refer is a framework for building our campus community’s capacity to support mental health and prevent suicide. 

Through trainings, education, and resources, this framework helps students, faculty, and staff grow their skills to better recognize signs that may indicate someone needs support, respond compassionately, and refer someone to resources for continued support.
