Student Health, Counselling & Wellness Services in collaboration with the Office of the Vice-President, People, Equity, & Inclusion Employee Mental Health Strategy implementation team plan to bring the campus community together to raise awareness of suicide prevention and promote help-seeking.
The event will begin at 9 a.m. with remarks and a flag-raising ceremony followed by an introduction to this year’s Care Champions. Attendees will then be invited to participate in a campus walk, followed by light refreshments.
The It Matters that You’re Here suicide prevention campaign flag will remain in place until the end of September to convey the importance of campus suicide prevention, foster a sense of care and connection for those who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide, and raise awareness of the It Matter that You’re Here initiative, which connects back to campus and community mental health resources, crisis supports, and options for emergency mental health care.
Participation in the walk is open to UWindsor students, faculty, and staff. Register here to join.
