SAMHSA Releases Recorded Webinar on Suicide Prevention in High Schools

This webinar provides an overview of the research on school-based suicide prevention programs and identifies resources that can be helpful in developing and implementing your own program. In addition, the webinar offers examples of how two states developed programs to prevent suicide in a variety of school systems, including those serving ethnically diverse students.

Participants working to prevent suicide will learn how to:

•  Explain how a strategic approach to suicide prevention can be used in high schools.
• Identify resources for use as part of a strategic approach, such as the Best Practices Registry, National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices, and "Preventing Suicide: A Toolkit for High Schools."
• Describe the efforts of two states to be strategic and culturally appropriate in their approach to school-based suicide prevention.
