Suicide Prevention (University of Texas System)

This brief, engaging suicide prevention video was created for all Texas institutions of higher education to raise awareness and promote strategies to address suicidality among students of all ages and backgrounds. The video includes warning signs and emphasizes that help and resources are available on campus and in the community. The intended audience is incoming first-year, transfer, graduate, and professional students, though it is also appropriate for current students — and those who work with them.  

 

The 6-minute video features actor portrayals and attractive animation for three stories with universal themes taken from real stories and research. The video was created by The University of Texas at Austin’s Division of Student Affairs and Center for Health Communication in collaboration with Arts and Labor, and was funded by The University of Texas System.
