September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background. In fact, suicide is often the result of an untreated mental health condition. Suicidal thoughts, although common, should not be considered normal and often indicate more serious issues. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. We have access to free training videos through Psychotherapy.net which can increase our knowledge and skills which will in turn give us more tools to serve clients who are considering suicide.

Drs. Gavin Williams, Beckwith, and Lupton-Smith Ask for Your Help with a Research Study

Greetings,

This message is an approved request for participation in research that has been approved or declared exempt by the North Carolina Central University Institutional Review Board (IRB).

We invite you to participate in a study on rural school counselors broaching conversations on race with students. Your experiences engaging in conversations regarding race and ethnicity with students within rural schools can help us understand if rural school counselors are able to engage students in conversations regarding race and ethnicity or not. If not, we would be interested in understanding more about what barriers might exist in being able to do so. The interview will take place in the form of a mini-focus group (approximately 4-6 participants).
