Please Note:
Our ability to respond to requests may be impacted by factors such as: current demand for services, time of the quarter, and availability of staff to present to your department or club on a given topic.
Please note the following when requesting an outreach program:

Overdose Response Training
In this training, participants will learn how to respond an alcohol or drug overdose emergency, including harm reduction strategies, using fentanyl test strips, what an opioid overdose looks like, and how to administer naloxone.
We are offering two workshops open to all students, faculty, and staff this quarter. If these dates/times do not work for your schedule or you would like to arrange a training for your department, please submit an Outreach Program Request.
Suicide Prevention
We all have a role to play in suicide prevention. The QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) suicide prevention training teaches people how to recognize when someone may be at risk for suicide and how to connect them with immediate help. For students and faculty/staff.
Tips for Difficult Conversations
Communicating through difference and resolving conflict for students
Consent 101
How do we practice consent in sex and relationships? How do we make sure everyone is having a good time? Every person is in charge of their body, and we all need to work with our partners to create physical and sexual experiences that feel great for everyone. This guided conversation is for everyone, whether you have never had sex, are sexually active, or do not want to have sex at all. You will learn how to navigate consent, understand safety, and learn how to communicate desires for more consensual and fun experiences!
Get Your Best Rest
Learn the importance and practice of sleep hygiene for students.
Stress Less!
This presentation provides students with the tools and skills to reduce stress and build stress resilience. Some of the tools include self-care, creating boundaries, and emotional regulation strategies. The goal of the training is to re-frame stress and help students learn to manage it during their time at Western.
