LEARN Saves Lives: Advanced Training for Educational Staff Associates
Many of us have confided in others during dark times, and vice versa. But it can feel awkward, if not downright frightening, not knowing what to do when a loved one or a peer shows suicide warning signs. Developed by Forefront, the five simple and effective LEARN steps empower individuals to help others move in the direction of hope, recovery, and survival. The Advanced LEARN for Educational Staff Associates covers additional important topics for school staff, including suicide screening and safety planning intervention, and gives participants an opportunity to practice these important skills with experts in the field. The Advanced LEARN is listed as a model course by the WA Department of Health.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the public health issue of youth suicide
- LEARN suicide prevention skills (Including screening and safety planning intervention)
- Integrate prevention approaches into your personal and professional life
Fee: $25
Credits: Educators are eligible for up to three (3) clock hours for completing the suicide prevention training course. At this time we do not offer clock hours: please use form 4020-S and follow instructions to obtain hours from OSPI.
