still you rise

Still you rise was born out of necessity. While serving as university student affairs administrator and a doctoral researcher, the numbers of suicide ideations, attempts and completions continued to rise. The behavior intervention team I served on alerted faculty members of the students involved and the reaction was shocking. What the team and I noticed was almost universal. The faculty members expressed worry about the student, citing many warning signs they had noticed, but none of them reported the concerning behavior or intervened in any way. As shocking as this was, it pointed to a larger problem. Faculty were not being taught how to intervene. What was worse was there was no research about the faculty role in intervention. As one of the most influential groups to college students, all the training and intervention efforts and related research were focused on student affairs professionals and student housing. Still you rise is filling that gap with up to date research, training, and consulting aimed at reducing the rate of suicide and other concerning behaviors among young people. Specifically, Dr. Turner works with campuses to break down barriers to intervention with all populations, whether that be faculty, staff, students, or family members. Intervening is scary. Losing another student to suicide is scarier.
