"A Thousand Stars" is a program designed to increase awareness about suicide and empower students with valuable knowledge. Students learn about warning signs related to suicide, vital resources, self-care, and ways to discuss this with friends and peers in a discrete and sensitive way if there is reason for concern. It is important to know, for example, that research has demonstrated that asking about suicide in a caring way does not increase the likelihood of suicide, can reduce distress, and may decrease the likelihood of a completed suicide" (Granello & Granello, 2007; Gould et al., 2005). Contact Counseling Services for more information, 924-5910.
