The Blues Project

The Blues Project is a peer education program dedicated to informing people on ways to overcome depression and prevent suicide. Blues Project Peer Educators develop classroom presentations to:

• Educate students in the areas of both depression and suicide
  
• Focus attention on the high incidence of suicide and depression among college students
• Remove the stigma that suicide is a taboo topic not to be discussed
• Empower students with knowledge of how to appropriately and effectively respond to depressed and potentially suicidal individuals
• Provide students with on-campus and off-campus resource

As part of this program, Peer Educators develop public speaking, communication, and leadership skills as well as increased knowledge. Other great perks include earning class credit, looks great on medical school applications, and priority registration.
