Suicide Awareness, Prevention, and Response
Creating positive school environments by building awareness, opening lines of communication between students, staff, and parents, and quickly responding.
Our Suicide Prevention Program is based on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s recommendations. We’ve distilled their findings into four components to create a program that districts can implement with minimal hassle. The goal is to create a culture where everyone can recognize the signs of troubled students and understands how to report concerning behavior. Schools have the flexibility to pick which components they’d like to implement as they develop a plan that suits their needs.
