Suicide Prevention

The Suicide Prevention Program utilizes elementary, middle, and high school student level-specific curriculum that is nationally recognized and delivers this curriculum to schools throughout the district.  This curriculum’s overarching goal is to build the emotional skills within children and practical life skills to help a friend who may be struggling with these issues. Suicide Prevention Coordinators support all schools and are assigned by areas: North, Central, and South. They supervise the Suicide Prevention Specialists, train mental health professionals on how to complete Suicide Risk Assessments (SRA), assist with completing an SRA, answer questions about the involuntary examination process, and collaborate with other mental health stakeholders.
