The Suicide Prevention Resource Center’s (SPRC’s) new Colleges and Universities Web pages were created to support campuses to begin, improve, and sustain a public health effort to prevent suicide and promote mental health on campuses. The new pages feature sections on Campus Data and Developing a Campus Program, which includes information on the use of a comprehensive, multi-strategy approach; engagement of a mental health planning task force; data-driven strategic planning; selection of best practice programs; and evaluation of program results. Users also can access helpful resources and research findings related to campus mental health promotion and suicide prevention.
