Don’t forget to register your social accounts! If you have already registered a university-affiliated social media account this academic year, but have not responded to the additional questions via email, please do so to help the university ensure legal compliance and to assess needs for training, support and infrastructure. All university-affiliated social media accounts — including platforms like TikTok — must be registered.

Join staff from the Student Counseling Center and be trained in Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR), a nationally recognized suicide prevention training. This empirically-validated training will equip you to recognize the warning signs, clues, and suicidal communication of people at risk as well as gain the skills to act and help save a life.

Tatiana Piatanova has been at Pacific for over 10 years. Her work as a Sr. Instructional Designer involves working with both staff and faculty, which creates a well-rounded perspective. This is her 3rd term with Staff Senate. When you don't see her working, she is probably on the trails exploring the Pacific Northwest with her furry companion.

The Student Counseling Center and Pacific University Psychology Society (PUPS) are excited to offer a QPR suicide prevention training for the campus community. Come learn important skills and connect with other students who are interested in psychology!

Opee is a 10-year-old acting like a puppy. You can find us often hiking and going to the beach to frolic. I could not wish for more for such a loyal, sweet, and gentle companion.
