Abstract

This study examined how a virtual university-based suicide prevention program affected self-stigma and help-seeking attitudes in college students (N = 35) with and without a personal suicide history. Findings revealed participation in the program reduced self-stigma and increased favorable help-seeking attitudes, with no difference on the basis of suicide history.
