Called away on business? Attending a conference? Family obligations?

There's no need to cancel your class. The Student Wellness Team (Counseling Services, Wellness Education Services, and Health Services) by way of the Don't Cancel That Class program can cover your class by presenting on a number of topics that are relevant to college students. Even if you don't need to cancel a class, you are always welcome to request any of these presentations for your classes throughout the year.

Presentations are typically 50-90 minutes in length, depending on the presentation and your class's schedule.

Question, Persuade, Refer – Suicide Prevention Training

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students. The good news is that most suicides can be prevented if concerned others learn to recognize the risk factors, develop comfort asking about suicidal thoughts, and know where to send someone for help. Participants in this presentation will leave with practical knowledge for helping others who might be at risk for suicide.
