Faculty and Staff Suicide Prevention Training: Recognize, Respond, Refer is a multi-part, online program that provides information and guidance for faculty and staff around supporting mental health, intervening, and preventing suicide in UW-Madison students.
This training does not offer immediate support to those in distress. Instead, it prepares faculty and staff to be better able to support students in the future. All UW-Madison faculty and staff can access this online training by joining the Canvas course.
Resources for Faculty and Staff
- The UW-Madison Healthy Academics Toolkit offers specific strategies and resources that can be implemented to proactively support the health and well-being of students.
- The UW-Madison Employee Assistance Office offers resources for supporting faculty and staff.
Group Trainings
Live (in-person or virtual) prevention trainings for groups of students are available by request. The online training (Recognize, Respond, Refer: Suicide Prevention Training for Faculty and Staff) serves as a prerequisite for customized, more advanced prevention training. Email suicideprevention@uhs.wisc.edu to consult about group training offerings.
