LTE: Preventing Suicide on Campus

Suicide prevention is an important area of focus at UNH.  Dr. David Cross, Counseling Center Director, has offered numerous in-person trainings over the years to faculty, staff and students. The training has focused on identifying the warning signs but also recognizing the risk and protective factors for students in distress. In addition to providing ongoing short-term individual, relationship, and group counseling as well as consultations regarding students of concern, the Counseling Center provides in-person (academic year hours: Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) same-day urgent services to students in distress; urgent services are also available via phone 24/7 at 603-862-2090. Additionally, the Adjunct Assistant Dean of Students, Denise Nelson, in consultation with the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) can require students to have a safety evaluation at the Counseling Center based on safety concerns reported by community members.

The Student Activity Fee Committee has changed its meeting time to better accommodate students

The committee responsible for what happens to your student activity fee has made a change that makes it more transparent, and accountable for its actions. This is a good thing, but it is wasted if students do not take advantage of it.
