Umatter® was developed based upon a review of other suicide prevention programs to determine key concepts. Research from the American Association of Suicidology and the academic literature regarding suicide were applied. Once program goals and objectives were developed, experiential learning activities were designed to reach all learning preferences and styles of participants to ensure the maximum transfer of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Umatter® is a program of the Center for Health and Learning. CHL seeks to disseminate Umatter® nationally and work with partners to continue to refine and develop the program. Please give us your feedback and contact us for more information.
Umatter® Awareness and Skills Training aims to enhance knowledge, comfort, and skills to identify those at risk for suicide in your organization or community and resources to get help.
Umatter® for Schools Suicide Prevention is a national best practice program for suicide prevention developed by the Center for Health and Learning.
Umatter® YYA promotes youth mental health and leadership skills.
