RE:    UF SUICIDE PREVENTION SEMINAR: 21 November 2006
       

Suicide is the third leading cause of death in college-age students behind
only accidents and homicide, and suicidal thoughts and attempts are even
more common. Most individuals who feel suicidal give some warning signs of
their thoughts or plans; unfortunately, due to the stigma and complexity of
discussing suicide, many warning signs are often disregarded, unrecognized,
or not acted upon by family, peers, professors, or others in the campus
community. In this interactive workshop, Dr. Wayne Griffin of the UF
Counseling Center will increase your awareness of the issue and provide you
with tools to refer distressed and suicidal individuals for help.
Informational handouts will be provided to program participants.  Please
register for the seminar so that we will know how many sets of materials are
needed.

Date:   Tuesday, 21 November 2006
Time:   5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Place:  2354 Turlington Hall

Thank you.
