Each year, approximately 1,100 college students die by suicide in the United States. To support members of the Mason community in helping students access assistance, Counseling and Psychological Services at Mason offers Mason CARES (Campus Awareness, Referral and Education for Suicide Prevention), a two-hour "gatekeeper" training. This program informs participants of the warning signs of suicide and coaches them in how to talk about suicide with and respond to students in crisis as well as how to guide them toward obtaining professional assistance.
