HSPA is a Registered Student Organization (RSO) dedicated to the destigmatization of suicide and mental health​, as well as the promotion of mental well-being and positive living by building a strong, accepting, and safe university community. HSPA educates and develops better student awareness of mental illness by providing necessary resources.

HSPA hosts various events such as the following to provide a safe space for sensitive issues to be discussed, in meetings and out, and for students to practice our mission both on and off UW campus:

  • E.A.R.N. curriculum training: free 3-hour long suicide prevention training session held on UW campus
  • Stress-Less Week​: consists of hosting Therapy dogs, handing out free goody bags and hot drinks at Odegaard Undergraduate Library during the week before the final
  • Legislation/policy support/volunteer opportunities presented by Forefront: i.e. Suicide Prevention Education Day, annual Forefront fundraising, and many more.

Please join us to become a part of our story as we go forward in making suicide prevention important mission at UW!
