Suicide is preventable & Everyone can help.

This is a core component of a comprehensive suicide prevention strategy.

For Students
Recognize, Respond, Refer: Suicide Prevention Training for UW Undergraduate Students (2025) is a multi-part, online program that provides information and guidance on how to intervene in different situations, ways to support your peers, and a strategy to prevent suicide. The training takes around one hour to complete, and you can start, stop, and return to it on your own time.
Please remember that you play a vital role in strengthening our Titan Community of Care. Most students would talk to a peer if they were struggling with their mental health. Are you prepared to help?
This training was developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison by the University Health Services Suicide Prevention & Mental Health Promotion Team in 2021, and this new version includes updates and additional data, guidance, and resources for you to better support mental health on campus. We encourage you to enroll in this training and share this information with your community.
