The Guide provides schools with the following resources that can be customized for immediate school use:
Sample Suicide Crisis Protocol;
Protocol for Responding to a Student Suicide Attempt;
Sample Suicide Risk Assessment and Safety Planning Document;
Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale;
Sample Parent/Guardian Notification of Child’s Suicide Risk;
Sample Student Safety Plan;
Sample Return to School Meeting; and
Sample HIPAA-FERPA Release Form.
In addition to this Guide, we have many related professional learning opportunities below; e.g. Creating Suicide Safety in Schools and DBT STEPS-A. We also partner with Cognitive Behavioral Consultants who provide schools with a full continuum of professional development and technical assistance on CBT, DBT, and clinical supports. Lastly, as Hudson Valley Region Leader for the Suicide Prevention Center of New York, please feel free to email me if you have questions about any of these resources or would like to learn more about professional learning for your school district.
Lastly, great thanks go to Beth Rizzi, President of NYASP, for sharing these resources for helping children during this transitional time of (un-) masking.
