Suicide Prevention with Diverse College Students
Shadick, Richard; Akhter, Sarah
Journal of College Student Psychotherapy, v28 n2 p117-131 2014
Because of a dearth of experience in preventing suicide in diverse student populations, Pace University developed a multicultural suicide prevention kit. This article details the process used to develop the kit. The rationale for approaching suicide prevention in a culturally competent manner is presented, and methods used to gain culture-specific phenomena that impact the mental health of diverse students are discussed. It is hoped this kit will encourage other colleges and universities to enhance their own suicide prevention efforts.
