Abstract
This project examines gaps in standard suicide prevention training for college students, focusing on South Asian communities. Through focus groups and interviews with students and mental health professionals, themes like stigma, family dynamics, and resource barriers emerged. Findings support creating culturally tailored, scalable models to enhance minority mental health care.
