The University of Nebraska Kearney (UNK), founded in 1905, is Nebraska's public, residential university that is distinguished by its commitment to be the state's premier institutions of undergraduate education. UNK is home to 6,382 undergraduate students from 37 states and 50 countries. The target population for this project is first and second year students along with the international student population living on campus. The goals of the UNK Comprehensive Suicide Prevention program are to: (1) increase the number of students seen for mental health issues by 10 percent through physically connecting UNK's Counseling and Health Care offices; (2) enhance UNK's current crisis response plan through training opportunities for the UNK community and those who are actively involved with executing the plan; 93) enhance students services by creating a networking infrastructure to link UNK with at least two providers from the broader community who can treat mental and behavioral health problems; (4) recruit and train nineteen peer counselors; (5) to create a National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) campus organization in order to diminish the stigma and barriers associated with help-seeking behaviors for mental and behavioral health issues. To meet these objectives, we propose to conduct gatekeeper training; develop and implement education seminars; provide wellness training to undergraduate peer counselors, disseminate information to parents, and create linkages to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
