UCS presents
Matadors Unite: Suicide Prevention Week
Tuesday, September 5th through Friday, September 8th

This is a time where students, coaches, faculty, staff, and the community can join together in creating awareness and learning skills to promote mental health and help prevent suicide. It starts with a conversation. We aim to support our community through sharing coping skills, connecting students with resources, and bringing conversations about preventing suicide into the light. Join us as part of Matadors Unite. We are stronger together. 

The goals of our Suicide Prevention Week are to:

  • Promote mental health and wellness
  • Raise awareness about suicide prevention
  • Decrease stigma and increase help-seeking behavior
  • Teach coping/wellness and suicide prevention skills; and promote resources available to students on campus
