Suicide prevention training

In Fall 2023, the Tippie College of Business held its first Suicide Prevention Training in partnership with the Green Bandana Project. Throughout the year, over 100 students have participated and learned about ways they can support, communicate, and connect a peer to resources if they are feeling suicidal or experiencing a mental health crisis.

Check back to register for the next training that will be held in February 2025. Meanwhile, be on the lookout for students carrying a green bandana and reach out to them for peer support. #BeThe1To
