Media Interview: If you are a member of the media and want an interview on suicide prevention please contact Katy Redd at (512) 475-6930. "Suicide is a public health issue. Media and online coverage of suicide should be informed by using best practices. Some suicide deaths may be newsworthy. However, the way media covers suicide can influence behavior negatively by contributing to contagion or positively by encouraging help-seeking. Suicide Contagion or "Copycat Suicide" occurs when one or more suicides are reported in a way that contributes to another suicide."

Get involved with the Be That One (BT1) to promote mental health and prevent suicide.
BT1 hosts Suicide Prevention Week every year, which takes place in September in support of World Suicide Prevention Day and the National Suicide Prevention Week.
Mental Health Promotion Week is a campus-wide week of events in April focused on promoting elements of positive emotional well-being. Programs throughout the week emphasize the benefits of exploring mindfulness, community, diversity and inclusion, self-care, gratitude, and resilience.Stay in Touch
