A $305,000 federal grant will go toward efforts to combat suicide and aid at-risk groups at Wayne State University.
Jeffrey Kuentzel, the university's director of counseling and psychological services, called the grant "a huge thing for Wayne State, because -- like at probably just about any large university with a lot students and resources stretched thin -- we could always use some more help with identifying students who need help."
He defined at risk groups as veterans, LGBT students and on-campus students who experience homesickness or isolation from their normal support groups.
The grant will be broken down into about $100,000 per year.
The Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority and the university are also providing $328,000 in matching funds toward the initiative.
