Mission Statement

The goal of the Campus Suicide Prevention Center of Virginia is to reduce risk for suicide on Virginia’s college and university campuses. Specifically, this program supports the individuals and teams on each campus as they work to build the infrastructure necessary to promote mental health for all students, identify and support those with mental health concerns, and effectively respond to individuals who are at risk for suicide.
