Grant expands university’s suicide prevention program
Nebraska plans to have 1,500 volunteers trained on how to recognize mental health issues and how to direct individuals to resources for assistance. The suicide prevention program is led by Big Red Resilience and Well-being.
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is using a federal award to strengthen mental health services and suicide prevention programming on campus. Announced in December, the three-year, $300,000 Garrett Lee Smith Suicide Prevention grant will help provide consistent mental health and suicide screening.
