You are needed to reduce the risk of suicide among our students. Any member of the JMU campus community may come into contact with a suicidal student. Being aware of distress signals, ways to intervene, and sources of help for the student can help you respond more effectively to such situations. Saving the life of a student might come down to you having the right knowledge and being available in the right place at the right time. The psychologists and counselors at the CSDC are available to students, faculty, and staff for consultation regarding these issues.
