To conclude Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, this episode features Dr. Rikki Turner, Founder and CEO of Still You Rise, Inc. Rikki worked her way up the housing ranks in Arkansas and through her dissertation research found her life's calling working with college campuses providing suicide awareness and trainings. We begin the conversation with how Rikki disarms groups when talking about the sensitive topic of college student suicide. We then reflect on past strategies and techniques colleges used in the past that thankfully have fallen out of favor, which leads us to current research and what conditions need to exist for someone to act to support students. Rikki also shares with us how she connects with over 25,000 followers on TikTok and how she deals with trolls. We close out the episode with tangible strategies for any housing professional or department to consider to help... right now.
