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, we support the individuals and teams on each campus as they work to build the infrastructure necessary to promote wellness and safety for all students, identify and support those in distress, and effectively respond to individuals who are at risk for suicide.
