According to the Pew Charitable Trust, 10-24 year olds make up 14% of all suicides—surpassing 6,500 deaths – making  suicide the third leading cause of death for this age group. As adults who work with students, we can make a difference in their lives through our awareness of teen mental health, and our understanding of the warning signs and risk factors of suicide. This course establishes the strong connections between bullying and suicide, suicide and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and offers language and strategies to prevent suicide. With protective and preventive resources, you will leave this course with goals and knowledge to advance awareness and understanding of suicide with students, families, in your school, and beyond.
