On December 9th, the Student Suicide Prevention Special Committee, in collaboration with the University-wide FD Committee, held a "Student, faculty, and staff suicide prevention training session" for faculty and staff of Kanazawa University. Approximately 80 people, including 26 committee members on-site and on-line participants, attended the event.
This is the eighth time the workshop has been held.
