Examining the effectiveness and policy implications of university campus suicide prevention programs: A multi-dimensional perspective
Niagara University
2015 Gatekeeper training programs have been implemented on university campuses in response to the need for suicide prevention efforts due to the significant increases in the number and severity of students in psychological distress. This study examined both face to-face and web-based gatekeeper training programs. Quantitatively, using inferential statistical analyses and generalizability (G-) theory, the overall purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based and a face-to-face QPR gatekeeper training program, which were implemented on a university campus and within the surrounding community and aimed at increasing gatekeepers’ knowledge of suicide and confidence to intervene with those at risk of suicide.
What does it mean to live a Creative Life?
Buffalo State College
2018 The purpose of this project was to become an explorer in the world of creativity for the purpose of learning and self-improvement. On a weekly basis, as a creativity explorer, I researched a theory related to the expressive arts and personal development or engaged in an experience (i.e. travel) to discover “what it means to live a creative life.” The discoveries are discussed, including key learnings, products of the project, and workshop activities to assist others in exploring their creative lives. A sampling of the journey through photographs, expressive journaling and poetry are represented.
