REACH© on Repeat Challenge Day

Embrace mental fitness during World Suicide Prevention Month by participating in the REACH on Repeat Challenge Day on Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2026. This event is sponsored by The Ohio State Suicide Prevention Program and in partnership with student organizations across all six Ohio State campuses: Columbus, Lima, Mansfield, Marion, Newark and Wooster.

Know someone that hasn't been REACH trained? Is it you? Challenge yourself, friends and colleagues to become advocates for suicide prevention by becoming a certified REACH Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper on this REACH on Repeat Challenge Day and help us beat last year's record (108 certificants) at Ohio State for the most students, staff and faculty trained in a single day! We are united across all our campuses and with the world in the shared responsibility of suicide prevention.

Ohio State Newark is offering two 90-minute sessions: 

• noon-1:30 p.m. 
• 3:30-5 p.m. 

Learn to recognize warning signs of suicide. Practice employing empathy and connecting people with care. Unite with a coalition of Buckeyes dedicated to preventing suicide.

Registration is required.
