Hai-Jew, ShalinAnders, Brent A.2010-04-062010-04-062010-04-06http://hdl.handle.net/2097/3516With the popularization of socio-technical online spaces (high-tech spaces through which people interact, collaborate, and co-create), Web 2.0 ("Social Web") information technologies offer a new tool for the creation of protective factors against suicide, including a virtual student community. Raising awareness of suicide and de-stigmatizing that awareness are critical elements in building protective factors around students.

The University Life Café aligns with university endeavors supporting student development of coping skills.University studentsEmotional healthStudent engagementStress managementWebsitesRelationshipsLife skillsVideoSuicideArticle (publisher version)
