National Well-being Surveys
Michigan Tech participates in the ongoing assessment of health and well-being at the university through the Healthy Minds Study (HMS) and the American College Health Association (ACHA) National College Health Assessment. These reports are available for students, staff, faculty, and other interested parties to view.
QPR Suicide Prevention Training
Michigan Tech is thrilled to be able to offer you the opportunity to be trained in QPR, a suicide prevention training. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. People trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. Take the step today and become QPR trained.
TELUS Health Consultation
The TELUS Health Student Support App is a 24/7 telehealth counseling support service that offers free online resources and counseling for students. Staff and faculty can also use this service to consult on concerning students or situations. Call 1-877-376-7896 and indicate you are a staff or faculty of Michigan Tech and would like to consult on a student concern.
Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training course that teaches participants about mental health and substance-use issues. Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.
You can take Mental Health First Aid online or in-person.
- In person traingings are offered a few times each year with limited availability per class. Watch Tech Today for class offerings and reach out to counseling@mtu.edu to inquire about upcoming offerings. There is a $50 participation fee for this training.
- Online classes can be found year-round on Mental Health First Aid's website(filter your search for open, blended course with virtual-led instruction, and adult). Participation fees vary.
