The University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) is proposing to develop and implement the ULM HELPS project, which will support a comprehensive and coordinated campus effort designed to educate ULM faculty, staff, incoming freshmen and their families, and the student body at large about the risk and protective factors associated with suicide and suicide ideation to help increase the identification of students at risk for suicide or with mental and behavioral problems that may increase the risk of suicide; appropriately respond to students at risk; promote help seeking behaviors and recommend appropriate referral sources; and prevent death by suicide as well as suicide attempts by students. We will: (1) Educate and empower faculty, staff and police officers via professional development seminars and courses and paper and electronic awareness campaigns. By the end of year one, the program will reach 10% of population and participants will report an average 50% change in their knowledge, attitudes, and skills. (2) Enhance already existing services and training programs aimed at educating incoming freshmen and their families via educational workshops and culturally appropriate paper and electronic awareness campaigns. By the end of year one, the program will reach 10% of population. Participants will report an average 25% change in their knowledge, attitudes, and skills. (3) Enhance already existing services and training programs aimed at educating the ULM student body at large via culturally appropriate electronic and paper educational tools and awareness campaigns. By the end of year one, the program will reach 10% of population (8.6% more than is currently reached with existing efforts and resources). Participants will report an average 25% change in their knowledge, attitudes, and skills.
