Dear Campus Community Members:
Many of you attended our recent webinar about campus suicide prevention efforts with Dr. Jennifer White. If you would like to re-visit any of the content, including Jennifer's handouts, please navigate to our community website to access the materials: CLICK HERE
We plan to host one final learning event for this period on Friday March 30, 2012 from 10:00am-11:30am. We received some late notice funding to produce an environmental scan of substance use prevention programming on BC campuses. Some of you will have connected with our researcher/writer Kristina Brache, who has been compiling the report on our behalf. Our collaborators at CARBC will also be adding their responses to the final product.
This final learning event will be a teleconference for us to report out our findings. Given the very short notice for this event, we will be both archiving the event, and hosting a follow up session later in April.
Here are the details:
