Garrett Lee Smith Campus Suicide Prevention Grant
Supported by the three-year Garrett Lee Smith Campus Suicide Prevention Grant from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Western Oregon University will take a collaborative, comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to suicide prevention and mental health promotion for the campus community.
This project aims to build sustainable change through student, staff and faculty engagement while drawing upon the best evidence-based practices. The main priorities of the grant are to update infrastructure and policy, provide bystander intervention training, create engaging educational and awareness events, and establish marketing materials that are unique to Western Oregon University.
