Schools are a key setting for suicide prevention. Teachers, mental health providers, and all other school personnel who interact with students can play an important role in not only keeping students safe but promoting emotional well-being and connectedness for all students.
The best way to prevent suicide is for school districts to adopt a comprehensive, culturally relevant, evidence-based approach that identifies students who might be at-risk for suicide and assists them in getting help as well as responds when a suicide death occurs.
Building Capacity for Effective School-Based Suicide Prevention is a six-week learning collaborative centered around the NIATx process improvement model; a structured, team-based approach to change management. This learning community is designed to empower school district teams to create a roadmap for improvement and commit to measurable and sustainable changes to their suicide prevention plans.
