Coordinated by DEI chair LaTisha London, the Graduate Student Association presented a QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) su***de prevention training session for graduate students in collaboration with the Counseling Center.
We were able to fill 100% of the allotted RSVP spots and generate a waitlist, demonstrating the strong interest graduate students have in mental health initiatives and professional development opportunities.
As a result, 23 new gatekeepers from UNCW are now equipped to recognize the warning signs of su***de, provide support, and connect individuals with appropriate resources.
The overwhelming response underscores our graduate community’s commitment to promoting mental health awareness, strengthening peer support, and building an environment where students are prepared to help others. - LaTisha London
