The UConn Suicide Prevention Committee is comprised of over 30 UConn offices, academic departments, and student groups. The committee meets monthly throughout the year, develops campus programming and events, and hosts guest speakers on related topics. The committee works to uphold the motto, “Connection is Prevention,” by fostering real, in-depth conversations about mental health on campus.
