[Wellnesscommunications] Stay Well Tip - Focus on Recovery

[Julie Chobdee]

Focus on Recovery
Suicide Prevention

This year's Suicide Prevention awareness theme, "Hope, Resilience, & Recovery," is about encouraging the intersection between suicide prevention, alcohol and drug use and efforts that foster resilience and recovery. While we may not be able to celebrate together in person this year, we can still take part in virtual activities.

LivingWorks Start: Virtual Presentation

Most people are surprised to learn that they are much more likely to encounter someone who's thinking about suicide than someone who needs CPR. Yet suicide is preventable: with the right skills, anyone can help save a life. In as little as one hour online, this interactive training program will give you the skills and knowledge to keep students, co-workers, family, friends, and others safe from suicide. UCR Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and Healthy Campus are collaborating with Riverside-San Bernardino County Indian Health, Inc., Behavioral Health Services Department to bring this training to our campus for FREE.

Movie Night - Substance Abuse Recovery
In early recovery, many people feel like they suddenly have a lot of free time that they aren't sure how to fill. Movies can be a great way to stay entertained for a couple of hours...and there is no shortage of films that are recovery oriented, and even inspirational.
