A Request for Participation in a Research Study Regarding Suicide Risk Assessments


We invite you to participate in a research study being conducted by investigators from The University of Iowa.  The purpose of the study is to gather information on the needs of school counselors related to suicide risk assessments.  If you agree to participate, we would like you to complete a 10-15 minute survey. There is a link provided to an electronic survey with 22 questions. You do not have to answer all of the questions. You will not be contacted after participating, and participation is voluntary. You can withdraw from the research at any time.


Link to the survey:  https://uiowa.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4ZQk8Xf1MiHQQce


If you have any questions about the research study itself, please contact: Dr. Laura Gallo, 319-467-4354 or by email at laura-gallo@uiowa.edu.

 
A request from the Colorado Lawyers Committee

I am writing to ask for your help in identifying schools (7th grade and up) or community groups that might be interested in our free Hate Crimes Education presentation, either in person or virtually.
 
Since 1993, Colorado Lawyers Committee volunteers have presented trials to middle and high school students and community groups based on a fictional case arising from a violation of Colorado’s Hate/Bias-Motivated Crimes Statute. In this free program, students/community members act as jurors, listen to the trial and deliberate on the four counts on which the defendant is charged. After closing arguments, the audience members break into smaller jury groups to reach their verdicts with the help of a volunteer facilitator. Students then reconvene to discuss diversity in their community, and the value of preventing the spread of racial slurs and hateful actions.
 
Any Colorado school, college, university, or community organization (with students who are in Grade 7 and up) may sign up for a presentation. Because of the sensitive material, including realistic racial slurs that help illustrate what might be considered a hate crime, it is not recommended for students below seventh grade.
 
This program is now available in person or online. We currently use Zoom and Microsoft Teams to present the virtual program but can adapt it to almost any interactive platform.
 
If you know any schools/groups in Colorado (they do not have to be in the Denver Metro area) that would be interested in this type of presentation, please contact me or invite them to visit our website.
 
P.S. If you are interested in volunteering for the program, check out our website.
